Georgia CP trip

On the way back to the house currently from what was a great trip to see some CPs in the wild, these I found on my own and I will not disclose the exact location.
I will post photos when I return, but the sarracenia minors I saw were huge. Outstanding plants, along with several thousand d. Rotundifolia, and some u. Inflata.
I saw one plant which I believed to be a hybrid between psittacina and minor, but no psittacina around.
The plants were very very large, usually in clumps....I will post photos once I get back to the house in WA more than likely as the internet connection here is crap hahaha.
 
a sneak peak of some of the photos
this was the first good sized clump i came upon

What part of Florida? What kind of habitat did you visit? And most importantly, did you see any Pinguicula?
 
i hate you so much sometimes SK! :p :D lucky SOB! :D
 
awsome! Those sarrs are fantastic! That's pretty sweet, I gotta do that some time... some time in my life..
 
Hi SK,
You mean D. capillaris, right? I do not "think" D. rotundifolia is supposed to be in Florida(but Dionaea is not either, lol, and it's there).
Can't wait to see the photos!

Cheers,

Joe
 
Well the site I was reading up on, said that this area was rotundifolia. I will post a pic in a bit for you

Looks like caps to me, but how do they compare to your native state's rotunds?
Say, did the topic title change states?
Or am I going

:crazy:

Cheers,

Joe

PS Those pitchers are awesome.

it was actually in Georgia, exactly where i will not disclose as this was actually a group that was away from alot of people, and looked untouched.
i saw no litter except a cup or two which i picked up and threw away in the trashbag we had in the car.
No i did not see any pinguicula, i looked but to no success.

i hate you so much sometimes SK! :p :D lucky SOB! :D
Lol Frankie, if we ever are in Florida at the same time, i will have to show you this stand, Maybe we can get together sometime for a trip to see some Darlingtonia ;)

awsome! Those sarrs are fantastic! That's pretty sweet, I gotta do that some time... some time in my life..
The pictures do them no justice in any way shape or form
Everywhere i looked, it was S. minor and D. capillaris or rotundifolia, i have no idea lol im no Drosera expert.
the surrounding ponds and lakes were filled with U. inflata.
I was completely lucky to stumble upon this find.

And please people, i know alot of you would never remove CPs from habitat unless there was a solid reason (development, etc)
But if the area is untouched, PLEASE
Take only photos and leave only footprints.....

You always know how to make us jealous, Kris. ;)

Very nice, I like the variation between the lids with the minors.
