I was finally able to meet the illustrious Jerry Addington, our local sarracenia wizard. Guy has been breeding and growing sarracenia for probably as long as i've been alive. lol. His property is amazing.. Several huge commercial greenhouses, chocked full of sarracenia goodness.

Prepare for ALOT. of. photos.

Various greenhouse shots

Seedling house.. So.. many.. seedlings..

A few critters..

Watched this giant spee-ider catch a hoverfly and wrap it up..

Huge darlingtonia

I'm not calling him a sarr wizard... I saw a few flytraps :grin:

That really is amazing.. I wonder how long repotting takes.

Coincidentally, I browsed your Flickr album about an hour ago, marveling at all of Jerry's great hybrids. I wish I could have attended. Thanks for giving us the chance to visit his place through your lens!
