As of this AM - 115 (most of the rubras have not yet started)...

edit [5/2/08] Today's count was 192. That is as high as it will get even if more pop up since:
- I'm not counting again
- I'm cutting off those that will not be used to produce seed

CP30, I like your fence. Set the right distance apart and it forms that perfect negative circle. Oh, nice plants too.

 

[bianchi914]

Ok now i have 3 flowers which is a little better.

 

[Est]

Haven't had time for another count but here's one of this year's more interesting malformations.

 

[rco911]

Dude Jon, thats cool!! keep us updated on what it will look like!! what particular sarr is that? it would be cool if it were a tarnok! double flower double petal! LOL....

 

[larry]

A little update, about a month later. Flowers have been pollinated and pitchers are growing.

 

[tommyr]

WOW! That's spectacular!

 

[NeciFiX]

Wish I had the money to get plants like that. Sadly, car accidents and poverty prevent that.

I got one, a Cephalotus flower stalk, lol. I lost my 20 or so Sarracenia though.
