The flytrap needs a dormancy every winter while the nepenthes is tropical. They also prefer different mixes. Flytraps do well in peat moss and sand. Nepenthes need something airy, similar to an orchid mix. When you move them outside you will need to do it slow to adjust them to light. While everyone says nepenthes need shade and cannot live in full sun I grow eymae, ramispina, and izumiea outside next to my sarracenia and sundews. Experimenting can produce nice results but you have to be willing to live with rather ugly plants for the first few weeks. I live in New York, not Florida, so it can be done for you too.

What does the left side of the plans look like? What is moved to allow there to be no stairs in our view of the Red Plan. I feel like you should be able to get the Green plan with 2 bedrooms without too much difficulty.

Some like to time the market ... ... some don't, figuring that brokers like to suggest that ... as the commissions make them rich. How about buying a quality stock 47 years ago for $4.17 (seems like a lot of "4"s and "7"s here), paying about 10 - 12 cents dividend annually, at low tax rate . Stock value went up ... down ... and sideways. In 2007, could have sold for about $107 (not sure whether it topped some higher), paying $3.08 per year - at even lower tax rate. In the fall of '07, they increased the dividend by 40 cents, almost 10% of the original share price, to $3.48 annually ... granted, 40 years later. Shortly after that, they were involved in a financial almost-meltdown in another country ... share price skidded to about $40.00. Some said that they'd cut the dividend, but others said that they wouldn't dare, or it'd cut another leg off of the share price. Dividend rate continued at $3.48 for 4 years, then advanced, now is $4.00 per share. If I can remain alive a little longer ... maybe it'll achieve the $4.17 rate of annual payout that I paid for each share, those 50 or so years earlier. Share price now hovering around $100.00. I have some mutual funds, also - haven't bought any in 25 years. Those managers charge 2.5% annually for their supposed financial expertise ... but over 80% of them can't manage to grow faster that the segment of the market in which their various funds participate. Since I bought the shares that I mentioned above - haven't paid a cent to anyone for management. When I kick the bucket, the shares will be transferred to my offspring and the income tax people say that it's the same as though I'd sold them, so my estate will be liable for tax at regular rate on half of the capital gain. The start rate for share price for the kids will be the price on the date of transfer. Some will be transferred to a charity ... and there'll be no tax levied on the capital gain. So there's a tax advantage to giving shares with major appreciation to a charity. As I live, frugally, by choice rather than necessity, within my pensions, the investments are more or less "play money" ... until I need them, whether for advanced medical care, if not covered by our medical system, or home care, or residential or nursing home coverage. Hope you`re all having a great start on a new week. ole joyfuelled ... with a bit ò help from dividends
