NASC auction is OPEN!!

whats your flower count so far?

I know its sort of early but Jeremiah brought his plants out of dormancy so I decided to be a copycat and did the same, my plants have onyl been out of dormancy for about 2 weeks and they're already putting up more pitchers than ever! plants that didnt put up one pitcher alst year have 2 buds and 3 or 4 new pitchers coming in, its amazing, heres my flower count do far:
-S. flava "Green"-1
-S. alata Covington, LA-1
-S. leucophylla (I call it goliath since its so big)-1
-S. H-8-2
-S. minor wayne county, GA -1
-D. muscipula "Clumping" (not a sar but a plant out of dormancy)-1
So my final count is 7 I'll keep you updated, my grand total last year was 14
 
All I have going are D. adelae and P. primuliflora.

I brought several of my plants out of dormancy last month. They weren't looking to good in the fridge and I decided they needed sunshine and fresh air more than they needed another 7 weeks of dormancy.
 
Do u think I could take mine out rite now? Im in NJ and the temps have been about 40's and 50's. Im expecting snow on Sun. but the rest of the days look like low 40's. Do u think I could get away with it?
 
Some of my plants are showing signs of waking up, ever so slowly. However, the past week or so has been rainy and cloudy and unpleasant, so it'll be a while yet before I see much action in the flower department. Even when the time rolls around, I'm not sure how many flowers to expect as the vast majority of my Sarracenia were obtained last year!
 
I have counted about 30 so far. S. flava's, s. X readii's, s.alata's, and one s. rubra ssp. gulfensis. I expect much more! Brooks deals with 300 to 400 flowers every year!
 
Woo! Found my very first today! And on a location plant, none the less! Wee-hee!

great! I just realized my S. flava "Green" has 2 flowers instead of one and is sending up its first pitcher of the year which I'm expecting at about 1 1/2 feet, also my biggest leuco has sent up a bud and has 2 new pitchers which should threaten 3 feet this year
