Default Anyone Growing Carnivorous Plants?

Just curious how much interest there. Anyone growing CP's? I was thinking about starting a social group (or promting someone else to take the initiative ). Anybody growing Nepanthes, Sarracenia, Drosera, Dionaea, Pinguicula, or others?

I love Nepanthes! Sadly I have not had much luck with them though. I have managed to grow some sarracenia's in my garden outside though. Have not been easy as they are usually rated Zone 5 and I live in a Zone 3b. But they seem to be forming a nice clump after three years.

Ive got a few small pitchers (IDK what species) around the growing areas to control ants. I would join! Ive always wanted to get more into these guys. I cant seem to keep a flytrap alive for more than a month or so though!

I used to grow quite a lot but I downsized my collection and got rid of a lot of hybrids and under performers. My orchids started to compete with them for space. Currently growing but no doubt missing a few:

Drosera (downsized dramatically, I used to grow pygmies but I got rid of them when I moved house because they didn't perform in the new location, a few live on as weeds)
-capensis (a few different clones)
-burmannii
-regia
-filiformis
-hamiltonii
-spathulata
-slackii
-aliciae
-planchonii
-macrantha (and a couple of the subspecies)
-stolonifera
-stricticaulis
-menziesii
-erythrorhiza
-porrecta
-ramellosa
-andersoniana
-whittakeri
-peltata
-auriculata
-adelae
-prolifera
-schizandra
-binata (several varieties)

Sarracenia (most of the hybrids are gone but there were a few good quality and sentimental hybrids that I couldn't get rid of. There are a couple of colour variants within the species below that I'm growing)
-alata
-flava
*var flava
*var cuprea
*var rubricorpora
-leucophylla
-minor
*var. minor
*var. okefenokeensis
-oreophila
-psittacina
-purpurea
*subsp. purpurea
*subsp. purpurea f. heterophylla
*subsp. venosa
*subsp. venosa var. burkii (S.rosea)
-rubra
*subsp. rubra
*subsp. alabamensis
*subsp. gulfensis
*subsp. jonesii
*subsp. wherryi

-Darlingtonia californica

-Dionaea muscipula (around 15 clones)

-Drosophyllum lusitanicum

Pinguicula (This is not a genus I actively collect due to lack of space so the memory's a bit patchy on what I have. When I find more space I can see myself getting into this genus.)
-'Sethos'
-laueana
-mesophytica
-rectifolia
-grandiflora
-gigantea

Utricularia (I got rid of a lot of my Utrics, mainly because they were too weedy others died out due to purposeful neglect)
-gibba
-bisquamata (not in a pot of its own. Once you have it you have it forever)
-longifolia
-praelonga
-reniformis (the flowers on these last three saved them from the cull)

Nepenthes (I don't have a lot of Nepenthes. I don't really have the conditions for them and I'm not into them enough to go to the effort of setting up a suitable environment.)
-maxima
-tobaica
-ventricosa
-khasiana
+ a handful of cold growing hybrids

No doubt I've missed some plants out.
