Flower watch, 2013!

[Not a Number]

S. oreophila × minor - have not been able to determine if this is the same clone as the recently named cultivar 'Godzuki' the flowers and pitchers do not open simultaneously which is a trait described on the write up .

Technically is it a flower S. leucophylla 'Tarnok'. They're going nuts this year

 

[joossa]

Lots of blooms this year! Let me know if you guys want the ID on any of these....

Success! I'm going to try my luck at pollination in a few days.

I kinda messed up some of my flowers because I am not good at bagging them evidently. Oh well. I only had one flower last year which was also my first flower. Here is my first batch that has opened so far.

alata nigrapurpurea smells like limes.

catesbaei has a much bigger bloom than the others!

mitchelliana which is waving!! How cute. It is the smallest of my flowers so far but smells the strongest for sure! Mmm Kool-Aid.

I am just going to post two at the moment and then more some other day!

"Purple Lips" x flava ornata

And then there is this weirdo that decided spots are cool. The inside of the flower does not look so great. The pollen seems to be moldy or something?

 

[SgtSarracenia]

That moldy situation does not look good. Does any other part of the plant exhibit strange spots also? I keep trying to figure it out, but what type of soil are you using?

No and peat/silica sand mix. It is in the same pot with another leucophylla and that flower is perfect.

 

[SgtSarracenia]

ok, if it were me, to be safe I would cut off the flower, but that is just me. It looks like you have all of your Sarrs in sand only. Or are they just top dressed with sand?

The majority of them are top dressed in silica.

 

[SgtSarracenia]

then that is what I am seeing. Why did/do you choose to top dress with silica? I am just asking because I don't, but if there is a reason I should be then I will.

I had a lot of fungus gnats at one point. The silica blocks them from laying eggs in the soil thus stops larva from munching on new roots and in turn stops adults from spreading diseases and being super annoying. Also it keeps the soil moist and cool during the summer. The plants really seem to like it a lot. I like to think it has other benefits as well hah.

 

[SgtSarracenia]

Maybe I will try that in a few of my pots. Just to see if I notice a difference. I grow all of my plants outside, so with all of my Drosera and Pings it is almost a gnat free zone, but the cooling of the roots would be a plus.

What's wrong with this picture? S. leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek White'

S. gilpinii x rubra x minor 'Okefenokee Giant' first time for this one, what to cross it with? S. leucophylla maybe or S. rubra. I could back cross it to my 'Okee Giant'. Or 'Hummer's Hammerhead' or 'Dixie Lace' or....

S. minor × psittacina

S. rubra ssp jonesii

 

[DJ57]

I have not posted pics in a while, so here goes. The bog sarrs seemed to really like the exceptionally mild winter we had here in the PNW and unusual warm spring weather as well, putting up lots of flowers.
