H. pulchella 'Chimanta';

Again;

D. venusta;

D. erythrorhiza ssp. imbecilla- a strange looking plant;

P. rotundiflora. Hard to believe that something that looks like this massacres flies all summer long!

P. hererophylla- bizarre winter 'onion';

B. lamellata- recently germinated using GA3;

B. gigantea- showing no signs of slowing down, despite the coldness and lack of sunlight. This is new growth from the base of the plant. The main stem's about 2 1/2 feet high!

Thanks for the kind comments.

Hi Barracuda,
The erythrorhiza is a tuberous species. I received two tubers in August. The larger one produced a larger plant that flowered in October. I tried to photograph that specimen, but the photos kept coming out blurred for some reason. The plant in the photo sprouted from the smaller tuber. I've no idea whether it will get any bigger this year before it goes dormant. The H pulchella is one of my favourite plants. I received it last spring as H. minor 'Chimanta', but it has, luckily for me, recently been reclassified as a separate species. I think it's smaller than H minor. Most of the adult pitchers on my plant are around 4cm tall.

Cheers,

Greg
