Yup, currently growing in my greenhouse.

They look very....succulent! -O

I have a small collection of carnivorous plants too:

These are flowers of Utricularia bisquamata. The flowers are really tiny. A few mm across. This has small traps in the soil. In the backround is Cephalotus follicularis



Cephalotus follicularis



One of the pygmy Drosera, Drosera scorpiodes

Here is one of the "Spinnekop" Haworthias.
Haworthia bolusii

Do you have to get insects to feed the plants?

No, I don't feed them.

This is Phyllostachus auriocaulis fma auriosulcata - from China. A small planted out offset. It will get a lot taller, and the culms a lot thicker.
