Answer
Hi Matt,

All of your plants are relatively small.  They will probably need another year to reaching blooming.  It also depends some on species.  It looked like your largest plant was a Sarracenia purpurea, but they tend to need to be larger to bloom.  Many of the S. rubra varieties will bloom when smaller.  S. flava will usually bloom when they have two crowns, and have gone through a full winter.  Venus flytraps bloom when they feel like it.  Most bloom every year.

Good Growing!
