TheCarnifreak Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi everyone, Here are some pics I shot last week in Switserland, at one of the purpurea locations in the Alps. Please enjoy, and don't start to discuss about the thing that they don't belong there ;) There for is another topic. The plants are propagating very well. In the whole bog I had to watch my step...everywhere were seedlings growing. Also millions of D. rotundifolia where covering the ground. Also Pinguicula vulgaris was growing in the same bog. Not on the same place, the purpurea place is to wet for them I think... It was a fantastic experience to see this all, I really have to go to the US of America to see the other Sarracenia's in habitat! More pics can be found on my website. Cheers!

Alexis Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 It seems to be a very green population (apart from the seedling that will probably be greener when older). I wonder if red plants or even heterophylla plants will start to appear in a few generations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hello ! Very nice Ries. Thanks for sharing. It's amazing to see how the plants thrive. François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jürgen Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 ..., and don't start to discuss about the thing that they don't belong there ;) Looks not like a foreign species more a part of the native flora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Looks like a substantial population and as Alexis says, largely green. The colony may have been founded by a single individual, in which case the gene pool would be very limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL7836 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 The colony may have been founded by a single individual, in which case the gene pool would be very limited Any ideas when the 1st plant(s) were introduced to the site? They've sure made themselves comfortable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCarnifreak Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 At this spot the plants are introduced in the 1890's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 At this spot the plants are introduced in the 1890's. Ries, do you mean the 1980's or the 1890's? Friendly, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCarnifreak Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Do you need glasses? Lol just kidding! Yes, I mean the 1890's. There are thousands of plants there, and if you take a better look to the size of the plants, then you can tell that it would be impossible that they were planted out just 16-26 years ago...
