That's a neat hobby! How difficult is it to ... grow .. errr .. raise them?

Well,,,, cat's is our expert in plants. My husband got me a load of seeds for my birthday. I can't keep a grown plant alive so I left him to it And he got results
I just look at them, I'm leaving all the care to him

He's doing a great job, and the seed must have been very fresh. It's a problem with commercially bought seed, that it isn't always fresh, and date of packing is not the same as date of harvest.
@SGF , I can't do better than to refer you to Barry Rice's online guide. I did the same for Tray, and I think it proved helpful. He really knows his stuff, and explains it very well. Link below:

I have had a few of these in the past. I have had them last a while and they died after a while. I probably re potted them wrong maybe

I've just been in the greenhouse, and the plants are looking really good in the sunshine. I found these photos of the flowers that I took a little while ago, and thought you might like them. Not VFTs though!

Sarracenias. The flowers are lovely, but the petals only last for a few days. The leftover sepals and seed heads make good cut flowers though.

Yes, there were sarracenias in the collection. I recall you had sarras, VFTs and drosera.
