He's in San Jose, so that gives him a head start. We'll catch up in June!

Great idea! Brokken, your pitchers are 100% pure eye candy. Thanks for sharing!


It's still on the cold side in my area and everything is barely waking up. However, as usual my oreo is the first to get out of bed, and thus is the only one that has put up new pitchers:

[Neps_N_Things]

Pitchers won't open for a couple more weeks on most of my plants but here are some pics of some coppertops I won in the auction. They look so great I couldn't help but to snap a couple pics.

Jimscott....your kitty is rightside up, LOL~

 

[Jaytab]

S. alata 'Black Throat' x flava rubricorpa just a few days after opening.

S. leuco x oreo

 

[Brokken]

You got some interesting hybrids there Jaytab. I would like to see the alata x flava rubicorpora as the pitchers mature and become darker.

 

[Halt]

Andy sells that hybrid Never knew it was so bueeeeeeeeeeetifurl. Restock please?

 

[Jaytab]

Yeah i can't wait for it to really darken up.

S. purpurea ssp. venosa:

Doing what it does best:

S. 'Judith Hindle' pitchers are coloring up:

 

[adnedarn]

Hey guys... Beautiful plants first of all Second- Even the picture on my store site is not a plant fully colored... I took this pic a couple weeks ago to show the difference of leucophylla (left) and leucophylla "Alba top" (right) But the sarr that has taken everyone's eye when I show them that pic is S. alata 'Black Throat' x flava rubricorpa. I love that thing! Don't know when I'll have more,

 

[sarracenia]

here's my first pitcher opening of the year, an ugly but massive xcatesbaei. I don't count the smaller ones you see in the background, they were put in a greenhouse around January. This is the first of mine that withstood an entire Wisc. winter in the garage.

 

[carnivoure12]

Catesbaei

 

[joossa]

S. x "Black and Red" made a rather large hood on its first pitcher....
