Sarracenia from Seed!!

[Iwest]

Thanks! Sadly, I've got no clue, I bought a bunch of mixed hybrid seeds from someone else a little bit ago, and that seedling is from one of those seeds. I didn't do that one myself. Here's a closer picture of the big pitcher though, if that helps.

Thats nice. It reminds me of S catesbaei.

Nice idea Vic -

LH78 (7 cells from front center and down the right side) is 'Hurricane Creek White' x 'Adrian Slack' Feb, 2010

About 2 dozen of the same seedlings coming out of dormancy Mar, 2012

Here they are about 2 weeks ago.

Nice variety - love how white that one is

yes. agreed! im really digging the lighter clones!

 

[fdfederation]

They have grown so much!

Here are a few more I’m working on.

The first three were recently brought outside and still getting acclimated to the blazing SoCal sun and low humidity.

(‘Golden Red Jubilee’ x Leucophylla) x a very red Catesbaei

(Purp venosa burkii x rubra wherryi giant) x ‘Leah Wilkerson’

Unknown hybrid from Joel (Joossa) but really showing promise.

Flava cuprea x flava ornata

Same

Others

ALL HAIL THE SARR KING!

So.. I did what you told me with the ungerminated seeds. You're magical, I swear.
S. "Northern Light" x S. 'Adrian Slack' and S. oreophylla x S. 'Leah Wilkerson' both have started germinating again!

 

[Fred P]

You're too kind Mass but trust me.....I'm no King. Glad they're sprouting for you now. Post some pics here when you get a chance so we can see them.

Whatz the "stalled sarracenia seed sprout trick" while we are still fresh on the subject?

 

[Whimgrinder]

Gosh, you have some very promising seedlings there Fred! You must be very excited I would also like to hear about this Sarracenia germination trick ( I bet it has something to do with a second stratification!), but as you can see, I'm not having a problem in this regard:

I will be able to plant an acre of Sarracenia in a few years! Yikes.

 

[dionae]

Very nice sarracenia Fred!

 

[joossa]

Agreed! That one that is very white is almost blinding! The cuprea x ornata are very nice too!

Those are nice Paul and yes, you are right about a second and sometimes third stratification. It's not really a trick...some just need that extra warm/cold kick in the
butt once or twice to get them to germinate. But in Mass' case, he had already stratified for like 8-9 weeks so I just told him to cover them and raise the heat to around 85 degrees. Again not really a trick.

These were sown about a month ago.

I figured I would add some recent pictures of mine since some true leaves are beginning to form!

very nice seedlings tonyc

Took a bunch of photos of plants from 2008 oreo x moorei. All sorts of pitcher shapes within clones

one that just popped up from seed in bog

rubricorpa x rubricorpa

complex from 2008 these end up mostly dark red

various seed grown plants

S x catesbaei Yann Rodenas grew from seed

Nice seedlings Tony C, lil hokie and DB! Love that oreo x moorei in the 3rd pic.

 

[dionae]

Few seedling pics.

Nice looking plants!!!! That one is really dark and neat. Thanks for posting.
