Howdy From NC

[T-D]

Hello Just a quick greeting. I have been recently introduced to CP's through the UNCC gardens and Dr. Mellichamp. I just started this spring, picked up Savage Garden and constanltly refer to it. My collection is still small, but I grow outdoors see photos below. Love the sarracenias and drosera intermedia. I have grown orchids for several years and this is a nice distraction and as equally addicting. Thanks for the wealth of information and hours of reading I have yet to do. I look forward to your knowedge and expertise.

My Grow Space:

Sarracenia 'Mardi Gras'

A little Help on this one would be great ( I was told it was a Atlanta Botanical Garden Hybrid) I know names are hard to come by, but feel free to try.

This One also needs a name if at all possible.

Thanks For Looking.
T-D

That's quite a "small" collection. Welcome to TF! There is a wealth of info here.

Hiya, welcome to TF! They all look very nice! I can't help you on the first one, but I can see leucophylla and maybe rubra. It's hard to tell since it's an unknown hybrid. The second one is most likely S. x catesbaei

Hi,

I was a student of Dr. M myself several years back. He was a great advisor for me. Once I started growing CPs from Dr. Mellichamp I was hooked. I used to work in the Gardens and Greenhouse. Good to hear of other folks from NC. Your plants look great!
There are some very knowledgeable people here and welcome to TF.

I thought a tornado was gonna hit us today. I live towards Chapel Hill and its been raining for like 2 days straight. NC needs it.
