Darlingtonia flowers 2015

[fredg]

The first of my flowers for this year which is along way in front of all the rest. This is the first ever flower from this clone. This youngster was taken from the parent plant last year after I accidentally damaged the parent's new pitchers. The parent has never flowered, this year's bud being well behind this one.

Interesting look to it, almost like a blush to the sepals....

I'd given up on seeing this yet again this year. Then came the "WOOT!" moment.

This is my 1983 clone. The flower stem bracts are a much deeper pink than any other clone I've flowered although this isn't apparent on the photo due to the sun angle.

A different angle to show the pink bracts on my 1983 clone.
