Actually, all BUT the Nepenthes are being grown outdoors. The Nepenthes
grows in my office where it receives indirect Northern light, and overhead
office fluorescent light. It does very well. Unfortunately I'm not sure
of the species.

The plants outdoor are in full sun, but are protected most of the day by
30% (I think) shade cloth. We live about 5 miles from the beach, but the
sun can still get pretty intense. As long as I keep the water trays full,
they do pretty well. The Drosera capensis have never been happier, or redder.

I'm not sure how to get the list. Does it exist as an archived file on the
Listserv?
