Jeff,
I have some pictures of various Sarracenia along with some Drosera
capensis that I grow outside all year under a grape arbor. I live in
Southern California about 4 miles from the beach. Summer temp can get to
95-100f winter rarely gets to freezing. During the summer they are
partially shaded by the grape vines, but in winter, when the grape vine
drops its leaves, they get full winter sunlight.
I am also currently growing a larger pot of D. capensis and some
unidentified Pinguicula, but I don't have any pictures of them yet.
You may use the pictures, but please give me credit.
They are at "http://members.xoom.com/sclancy/cp.htm".
