OMG!! I love that leucophyllia....its sooo much better than the red veined variety. I want to really see if I can buy a leucophyllia with white veins...that would be perfect. This is the best sarr in my opinion. :)
 
Here's my S. purpurea var Burkei breaking dormancy, with a VFT Red Piranha in the background. That's a true color pic. What a red!

I can't believe how much growth all of you have, especially Trent!!!
Here in NJ, it has been unseasonably cold. I put my Sarr pots outside about 2-3 weeks ago. I see the first signs of buds, but there has been ice on the pots/plants in the mornings the last few days. Grrr. Here is a photo of a young division of S. leuco "Hurricane Creek" and a mutt from my own seeds I think looks promising. Both inside under lights!

Well I still dont have much to photograph in my Sarracenia collection.. but here is a nice S. flava coppertop that is ready to show itself to the world..

Enjoy,
Steve





 
That "mutt" is still very young (1.5 years old), but I like the colors and pitcher shape. The seed parent was excellens, but only the bees know who the dad was. I have two siblings, one looks like a typical excellens, the other much more white but a more open pitcher than this one.
 
I will have to get photos of the other 2, but not until next week. Hybrid Sarrs always seem to grow well.
Here is a picture of some 8-month-old (from germination) Sarrs. I kept the tall one (traded a piece with someone on this forum earlier this year, I LOVE this plant with nice red and white colors) and I kept the reddish one. The tall one had

8" pitchers at 8 months.
 
Certain crosses can romp away, while others can stay tiny for years and then suddenly get going.
 
here's my S. purpurea x flava flower, which just happens to be my strongest smelling flower and it smells like cat pee!!!! What a deal!!!!

And my cute little S. psttacina x leucophylla flowers, that i actually saw being pollinated by a carpenter bee today.

Woodnative...that red readii looking thing you sent me (the one you call 'Woodnative') is so nice. I'm loving it. Especially the white on the front of the lip. It's great.
