Judges' Comments
Gorgeous little display for your Sarracenia and the height of the Drosera adds a nice delicate touch to the rest of the aquascape. The hardscape is well laid out and the rest of the plants integrate nicely with the hardscape. As an aquatic plants contest, I would like to see more use of aquatic plants aside from the Salvinia found in the limited aquatic portion of the riparium. Nicely done.

This is a beautiful display that captures the mood of American carnivorous bogs perfectly. Both in plant and material choice, it feels like a slice pulled straight from the wild. The great variety of texture amongst emergent plants is wonderful, with blossoms giving a clear indication of strong husbandry. The layout does demand more attention to its submerged portion, which would elevate the display even further. Fantastic work, please keep refining this style.

Simple but interesting use of pitcher plants. Also nice touch with the floaters on the water.
