A Few Collection Photos

I have to admit, I've never seen a hummingbird on a Sarracenia before. This is new. It looks like you had an excellent seed yield this year.
 
So,.. after looking at these again I really like the Leucophylla Alba x Flava Rubricorpora and the unknown hybrid. I'm really starting to take a liking to the floppy lid look.

The hummingbirds here is SoCal don't seem to be very afraid of humans and when I'm working out in the collection they will come buzzing right by my head and scare the hell out of me. I've actually had them come check me out face to face about 10 or 12 inches away on more than one occasion. Really strange!

Yes it was a great seed harvest this year. I did about 70 crosses last spring. I'll probably be doing a giveaway here in the near future.

Love that Hurricane Creek White "selfed"...the white and green contrast is very easy on the eyes!

Thanks Scott. I agree it has nice soft contrasting color. It was a seedling that finally matured this year. I'm looking forward to this one getting bigger.

Thanks Mass. How about this for a floppy lid?

Thanks.

So how about something new? Here is my first nice pitcher of S.'Leah Wilkerson' x 'Reptilian Rose' exactly 1 year 9 months old. I have a few more siblings that are starting to get some size and color on them too. We’ll see how they all turn out.

Oh wow! And I don't think the hummingbirds have figured out yet, a year on, how to extract useful food out of my plants despite some Nepenthes xcampanulata crosses being dripping with it.
 
Such beautiful plants! I see the occasional hummingbird on my porch, where the Sarracenias are. I don't see them actually feeding on anything and by the time i get my camera out - they've gone!
 
Thanks.

We have more hummingbirds than flies around here. There were 10 on our feeder yesterday with 3 more jockeying for position. It was pretty comical.
