[corky]

love them all

Jerry's plants were incredible! It was interesting to learn that he has them soaking in a very weak fertilizer solution at all times.

Whoa.. what what? Don't suppose he told you what his formula was?

 

[Brie]

Whoa.. what what? Don't suppose he told you what his formula was?

I forget which fert he uses.. I know he also doses with humic acid. But he tests the water with a TDS meter and keeps the fert within a certain TDS range. I think he said around 80? But dont quote me. Personally, I use Osmocote slow release pellets, esp in with my seedlings and younger plants.. http://www.carnivorousplants.org/howto/Feeding/SarraceniaFertilization.php

Maybe Grow-More urea free orchid fert? That is what Karen recommended to me and I know she and Jerry work together pretty closely.

 

[Brie]

Brie, something tells me you were the proverbial kid-in-a-candy-store! lol

LOL Oh I always am.. Its killer plant overload.. Any one of his plants, if you saw it online or in a store, you'd be like "Man thats an awesome plant, I must have it!".. Only theres tens of thousands of them. LOL.

 

[dionae]

Awesome acquisitions Brie. Hard for me to pick a favorite.

 

[Brie]

New photos now that stuff is in full swing and growing in finally. Yes I am aware I need to mow the field. lol. Lawnmower is broken and ran out of weed eater line today. Grrr.

Group shot of 'Kilimanjaro', "Ares", "Redman" x self, and some others

purp purp - Ontario Canada

purp 'Jersey Girl'

purp 'Brunswick Beauty'

rubricorpora - Near Sumatra, Liberty Co, Fl - Best Clone

moorei - SNW Clone

with flava ornata - Bulloch County, GA "Black Veins"

lueco "pubescent" x "Redman".. I love this thing, it gets huge, tall, dark red, fuzzy pitchers.

flava ornata - SNW Clone #1

mixed purp stuff. mostly oreo x purp het or oreo x purp montanas

minor var. okefenokeensis - Ware Co, GA - Clumping clone

lueco 'Snowflake'

(purp het x psitt AF) x Green Monster from Rob Co

"Redman", first big, good pitcher for me from this plant. Redman is a Jerry Addington plant.

Redman x Self

Lynda Butt - UK clone

Judith Hindle x Adrian Slack, siblings

"Green Prince", lueco AF x Green Monster

"Giant Excellens", Lueco Red x Minor Giant. Pitchers just coming up. Last year this plant was almost 4ft tall.

Doreen's Colossus

and a Don's Flava... Supposedly these could possibly be the same plant as DC, but so far Don's Flava seems much less "robust" IMO.. Thinner, narrow pitchers, more slender uplifted hood.

"Ares", another Jerry Addington plant.

And my weirdo, a chimera/variegated mystery plant given to me by Jerry to play around with. It flowered for me this year and the flowers are also weird and variegated.

and i finally got all of my sarracenia seed potted up and going.. About 1/3rd of this is stuff from Rob Co, 1/3rd from Brooks Garcia, and the rest is stuff from me and a couple other peeps.

That Redman...

 

[Monkey]

Wow. very impressive Brie!

 

[GreenBeast]

I love the colors on that Redman and the Redman x Self!

 

[DJ57]

Ditto on the Redmans. I also really like the chimera plant and hope to see pics when the pitchers mature. Great stuff Brie!

The grass in the background looks kinda like the back of my yard, haha, only yours make a nice backdrop for the sarr pics.

 

[Cthulhu138]

Looking awesome Brie. Can't help but notice that your leucophylla 'Snowflake' appears to be a flava though.

 

[bluemax]

That Ontario purp seems exceptional to me. 'Great color.

 

[Brie]

Looking awesome Brie. Can't help but notice that your leucophylla 'Snowflake' appears to be a flava though.

You could think that, based on color.. The pics really dont show any of the faint white windows it has.. But Snowflake is a super super green plant. Looks basically like a flava.. These are the plants first real pitchers for me since I got it as a division.. And I expect the white to not show up real well until fall... Here's a less washed out photo so you can see the faint white on the lid.. And it does have some on its neck too, just not alot of it yet.

Here's a pic of someone else's Snowflake, basically look like mine right now..

 

[Tony C]

If that is the same 'Snowflake' that Meadowview sells it is a hybrid, x moorei I believe. Nice plant whatever the case may be.

 

[Brie]

Yeah its Meadowview's "Snowflake".. and I agree.. totally a moorei...

 

[mcmcnair]

Brie I'm like 90% positive your chimeric mystery plant is S. xSwaniana the shape and coloration is nearly identical to the many I have seen in situ. It could possibly be back crossed at some point but I kinda of doubt it. Also the flower coloration matches as well. Beautiful plants and photos. I'm very jealous.

 

[dionae]

Beautiful sarracenia Brie.

 

[Brie]

My first Sarracenia propegation success, a bit late due to my personal life issues but I finally got everything out and going. These are the first ones to pop.

Hank x Adrian Slack

Adrian Slack Imposter x Adrian Slack

Darlingtonia "Siskiyou Mnt form".. not a sarr but close enough. heh.

 

[lil hokie]

Its official Brie, your sarr seeds have now caught up to mine.
