Queen Mary - not showing any dark colouration yet - but this is all new growth so will probably darken up.

Dudley Watts on the right - look at the larger pitchers on the Dudley Watts, so far this year all my adult Dudley Watts divisions have produced the largest in my collection.

Being a newbie to this hobby, and having viewed your other post first about seed sown Sarracenia and having just viewed these images, it really fills me with the confidence to want to try and achieve the same results as what you and the other growers on this forum have achieved. 

I know it will take time and a lot of learning, but just wanted to say thanks for sharing.

Good looking plants Matty. What's the S. flava Don Schnell parent? I've got a S. flava v. atropurpurea, Exum, N. Carolina, All red, D Schnell, Clone 2. Is that the same plant?

I have no idea, unlikely as I have had it from a small seedling. This years the first year its got to a decent size and very dark colour, it hadn't done alot before that. I bought a batch of seedlings from someone off £bay, just labelled as S Flava Don Schnell X S flava Rubicorpora.

 

Does it look very similar to your plant then?

Well, it's a NC atropurpurea so should be the proper thing. However, this is the first full year I've had it and it's not very red yet.

glad to see the Heliamphora surviving, what temps has it been down to?

 

Been down to -3 according to my digital thermostat, last winter was very mild here. I was debating bringing it into the conservatory but it looked healthy throughout winter so I left it in there. Its only a small greenhouse and I used to heat it and keep windows and doors closed but lost a lot of cephs and Heli's this way every year. I have only done this for the past two winters with the door open for airflow and no heat and the plants seem to be happier, so far with no losses to report.
