This prompts me to write about the beautiful, yet potentially
misleading, weather we're having right now in the Washington,
DC area. This winter dumped a record amount of snow on us,
and everyone's quite sick of winter. Well, for the past few
days we've had daytime temps in the high 50's F to low 60's.
Night temps have been in the 40's. After our winter conditioning,
this seems like Spring!
I won't put my Nepenthes outside just yet, though, nor will
I dig up my Dionaea and North American Droserae from their
earth repositories. Despite the fact that people have
reported Nepenthes surviving frosts, I'd rather not
experiment on mine :-) We'll probably have a few more
dyings gasps of Winter to frost things before Spring truly
arrives.
