Sarracenia Question

[bucky78]

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone knows for sure why pitchers "pucker"? It isn't on every pitcher, just one here and there. I have asked a lot of my friends and no one that I have talked to is sure. Here is a pic of what I am talking about:

It's annoying isn't it!

There have been a couple of photos of clones which do it on every single pitcher.

It's just a fact of organic life - plenty of humans have funny features too!

In general though, hybrids do seem to suffer more than the pure species.

One of my Sarrs are doing this too, it's a tad annoying but, I don't think particularly harmful.

I completely agree with Lois -- at times, sarrs will just do "stuff"... and what alexis says

"It's just a fact of organic life - plenty of humans have funny features too!" Hahah...
