Hi Everyone,
My new friend Patrice (in France) and I were discussing an observation of his. It started out with sars, but it seems the same thing holds true with VFT's and at least SOME native N. American drosera (like angelica, for instance).
Here is the observation:
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">here , most of the plants come from the same producers (most of them are from holland) , and the clones are all looking the same.
and thoose leuco seedlings look very different from seedlings made with "our" european seed , seed that we produce ourselves.
also , I have obtained some sarracenia plants the last week ; thoose plants came from "old" clones , imported 15 years ago in europe. and they look very different from our "holland" plants.
for example , I've now an "old" s.flava clone , and the plant looks very different from our holland plants.....and it looks also different from the flava that I have !
the hood of that old clone is much more longer than my holland one !

"here" means Europe. "those leuco seedlings" are in reference to some leuco seeds I sent to him ( if I remember right, I got them from Brooks).
When Patrice referrs to and "old" clone, he means one from the States.
some more observations:
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">I would be interrested because in my opinion, thoose "old" plants also look , somewere , more like real plants than thoose holland plants....;what i mean is that they look more healthier , more robust...the holland plants look something like "plastic plants" sometimes..they are strong , okay , but they are something different from thoose old plants. or I'm totaly blind , i dont know , maybe I'm wrong of course.

and
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">for exemple , I grow mine outside since years , but the holland strains still look soft....and the "old" strains look stronger.[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
We were tossing around the idea that maybe the differences are partly due to sunlight intensity that far north v/s where they actually grow, and other climactic conciderations like weather intensity. However, I don't this any climactic conditions would impact the size of a flava hood
Can anyone shed some light on this mystery?
