How many water butts does everybody have? I've got a 20 x 8 feet greenhouse going up and just need a rough idea how many butts I'll need to buy!

Whiteout Snow Blindness A couple of cultivar name suggestions for you! Stunning

Interesting, but not to my taste at all.

S. purpurea ssp. venosa variety burkii isn't a hybrid (but it is a mouthful). It likes rainwater in the pitchers like other purpurea subspecies.

Sarracenia anthocyanin free observations
Alexis replied to CactusChris's topic in General Carnivorous Plant Discussion
I understood the anthocyanin producing genes were blocked, rather than being absent. If you cross purpurea ssp. purpurea forma heterophylla with ordinary sarracenia you often get extremely red plants, which probably means a lot of the purp hetero plants in cultivation are actually very red underneath. With there being a few genes for anthocyanin production presumably you can get a 'leaky' one somehow which just produces a tiny bit of colour. I wonder if it's possible to grow plants with more of these leaky genes so that you could get a 50:50 coloured plant, like lobsters. The odds of getting a two coloured lobster are 1 in 30 million apparently, and I don't think we've raised 30 million anthocyanin free sarracenia crosses in cultivation just yet! -
Looks like S.x mitchelliana to me
-
Probably just a bit of sooty mold growing on the nectar. Nothing to worry about
-
Just looks like stress from being repotted and then being put back in the sun. The seller's idea of full sun might not be 10 full hours like you. The next pitchers will be fine. I wouldn't worry
-
Seems a shame considering they'll be in a greenhouse maybe next year. You'll be rewarded with bigger plants!
-
Looks tissue cultured. It'll be a bit difficult to divide yet because it'll be a mass of pitchers on a small piece of rhizome.

Alexis,
Are or were you the owner of http://www.violetmount.com ?
I have 231 links to that site in the CP Photofinder http://cpphotofinder.com that no longer work. Before I delete all of the links, I wanted to see if they are gone or moved somewhere else.

Rain, just because it's free.

Deionised water is perfect. Don't know where anyone has read anything otherwise.

All my plants are living outside while I prepare the ground for their new greenhouse. They're in the shade all morning just to try and keep transpiration low, so this year is a write off for colour (and storm Hugo flattened a few pitchers).

Looks pretty unhappy. What did you repot it in? Where is it growing?
