Pitcher plants in a water bog

What kind of floating island? Mind sharing a pic?

Mine are in a floating island in the pond.

I'd love to see them if you could get a picture.

Where do you get pitcher plants? I have seen some flytraps, that usually don’t look healthy

 

[csdude55]

Locally they're sold in nurseries, for about $20 each! Which is funny because they're native to about 1 hour South of here.

Even funnier is that no one I know locally has ever even heard of them! LOL

I've seen 3 varieties: yellow ones that stand up straight, purple ones that stand up straight, and purple ones that hang down and have a sort of pouch to catch bugs. Mine are the yellow ones. I'd love to have upright purple ones, too, but the two that I had died :-(

Sorry for late lost I don’t get on here as much. Here are some pictures.

Not so pretty early spring.

Pitcher plants are native 4-10 IF IM NOT MISTAKEN

They are native. They survive well. To be honest they’re just scenery for my pond. They don’t really eat much insects or consume nitrogen from the pond that much. I have debated getting rid of the island. It’s not like it’s over growing itself and I need to trim it… plants in ponds that do their job need trimming cause they constantly grow.

I'D NEVER GET RID OF MY bog island
