Finally, Something Appropriate for Minors!

[JB in Utah]

I've been putting off taking pictures of my Heliamphora minor that I got last week and for good reason, for fate has helped me stumble across a Sarracenia minor. I found it at a nursery today, it is a mature plant with several growing points - it is also the largest sarracenia that I have ever seen at a Utah nursery, they also had S. x catesbaei but I went for the purebred. So I have pictures of my two minors, honestly I'm not trying to sound creepy.

First - Sarracenia minor

Second - Sarracenia minor, glamour shot I love lens flare when it turns out, like J.J. Abrams

Third - Heliamphora minor - I went with a glamour shot as well

Fourth - Group shot of the cousins, hooray for family Sarraceniaceae

Little update, both plants have acclimated and are putting up new pitchers. Pics in a few weeks once I see some noteworthy growth.

I've always wanted to make a pot of S. minor like that... too bad I never got around to it

WOw, nice pics, and i have never seen sarras like that offer in nurseries... you must have been really lucky!

Good luck!

wow how much did that minor cost you
lol

I paid about 15 for the S. minor, I had a coupon for the nursery and they were selling for 19. H. minor cost about twice that.

Very cool. Just curious...which nursery in Utah?

I could only wish my Lowes sold something like that.

Do you have your H. minor acclimated to growing outside? (Also? Im loving how its growing in a coffee cup!)

 

[JB in Utah]

byuboy - it's nursery that specializes in Cactus and Tropicals, you probably will it if you search for Utah and those subjects.

Unstuck - I have them acclimated to windowsill growing. I tried outside last year and let's just say, 15%-25% humidity outdoors during the hottest days was not kind. I'll try outside again one day when I can get an in ground bog garden. Until then I'll stick to my windowsill.
