Thanks Yann and I'm still around; just been busy growing tons of Sarrs. ;)

Some patio flowers. The flava are spent but the leuco hybrids are still going strong.

I was thinking maybe Fred wouldn't mind if I went ahead and camped out around the 9th hole. I hear it's only a par 3, making it a short walk to the backdoor hehehe

Fred that set up is amazing! Gorgeous!

I went outside and wrote a list of the plants that have flowers coming up. I'm very excited for this year, going to be doing A LOT of pollinating.. Im anxiously awaiting all of these guys opening up.. So far they're either just emerging, or maybe halfway up.. The past few days are the first days of the year up here to break 70 degrees, so they're all taking their sweet time.. blah.

So far the flowers I have emerging are:

Adrian Slack
Leah Wilkerson
Schnells Ghost
Judith Hindle
Ruffled Sparkler
Red Flame
Doreen's Colossus
Adrian Slack Imposter
Appalachian Spring
Hank
Dana's Delight

flava, one of my first sarrs. Bought as a single division exactly 1 year ago next weekend. Flava certainly is an insane grower.

Judith Hindle, 2 buds. Also was purchased almost exactly a year ago for comparison lol
6960931404_16bedd9c77_o.jpg


purp purp, still waiting on any sign of flowers from this guy. Was purchased with the previous two, and flowered last year but nothing yet.

Lol, us Washingtonians are all taking advantage of the sun today.. bhaha. Beautiful flowers everyone! You're all making me both excited and jelous!!111

Here's mine.. not much, I was expecting more.

Darlingtonia.. been waiting patiently on this thing just to pop out and say hello for two weeks now. There's also only ONE out of my 4 plants that should be flowering this year.

Of course we are soaking up the sun, because it could be raining in a matter of hours haha...
What part of WA. are you in?
 
  • #97
Awesome guys! Keep 'em coming! :awesome:
 
  • #98
Brie - your venosa looks like var. montana to me. The triangular hoods that almost meet in the middle would fit.

I'm in Shoreline, I'm not from WA so I don't know it too well. I laughed pretty hard when I popped on here to see two Washington posts, and that we were all pretty much doing the same thing, taking advantage of the same sun.

Alexis - I agree, I believe it is a var. Montana as well, didn't you get it from Scott at out meeting Brie? If so it came from Jerry Addington, and there should be no doubt on the ID, since it would have came from the same batch of seedlings as my var. Montana plants, which are definitely what they are supposed to be... It is just within the natural variation of the plants... Typically with purpurea, the pitchers darken over winter anyway...
