Howard Snocken Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Here are a few recent shots of some of my Sarracenia taken just before my holiday a couple of weeks ago - apart from the 3rd and 4th photos all are of seedlings/hybrids of my own. I hope you like them - opinions welcomed! S.flava seedling plants - Bayou Co. Florida. S.catesbaei x rubra ssp. gulfensis - nice and sturdy this one! S. ''Dana's Delight''. S.leucophylla hybrid. S.leucophylla - Bear Lake, Blackwater River State Forest, Florida. S. ( oreophila x leucophylla ) x purpurea ssp.venosa S.( alata Red lid x flava ) x leucophylla showing early promise. S.( alata Red lid x flava ) X minor var. okefenokeensis Cheers Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glider14 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 i have a question....how does everyones Sarrs have nectar rolling off them!?!? at the most i get miniscule drops on the lip or on the back of the pitchers. whats the deal? BTW.... great plants! i love the S.(alata Red Lid x flava) x minor !! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Snocken Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Thanks for all your encouraging comments I too like the tubbiness of the S.catesbaei x rubra ssp. gulfensis and the curves of the S.(alata Red Lid x flava) x minor var. okefenokeensis that give the plant as a whole ( imo ) a very graceful air which is sadly difficult to capture in 2D - I'm still trying! The lids turn coppery on older pitchers. My two € cents! i have a question....how does everyones Sarrs have nectar rolling off them!?!? at the most i get miniscule drops on the lip or on the back of the pitchers. whats the deal? I would say that, perhaps, the high air humidity, relative lack of air movement and absence of precipitation in a greenhouse allow the nectar drops to build up and persist better than they would, for instance, outside. Some plants also seem to produce more nectar than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimfoxy Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 i have a question....how does everyones Sarrs have nectar rolling off them!?!? Those grown inside (in most of the UK and Europe Sarras are grown in greenhouses) have lots of nectar which tends to build up as there are very few insects around to drink it. Those plants grown outside rarely show lots of nectar because they get frequent visits from insects. Try putting a dripping pitcher outside and see how long it takes for it to get sucked off - not long in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
