HannahMariia Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hi I've had this Sarr for around 1 year. I'm assuming it's a hybrid? It's just staring to colour up. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?Thanking you :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicat Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Could it be S. Swaniana or S. Mitchelliana cross? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danl82 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I would say that s xswaniana is what it reminded me of straight away. But to be honest, if it didn't come with any ID and especially if it came from a garden centre, then you can't say for sure whats in it. The only thing to do is just call it sarracenia hybrid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 This Dutch hybrid is very common. It probably has minor and purpurea in it, and possibly rubra as well. But you'll never know for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Flower colour will give you a clue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahMariia Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It's not flowered since I've had it. Hopefully it'll still have chance to flower this year? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It'll probably be next spring I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahMariia Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 What's your experiences with repotting? Do you do it in summer (so they have chance to recover by winter) or in winter/early spring? I've always repotted February time and I've only had my S.eva flower (it is my oldest one and it normally flowers in spring and autumn but I cut them off in autumn). Am I repotting at the wrong time to stop flowering cus none of my others have flowered either, they were all bought last year (apart from Eva).

Alexis Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I report any time over winter e.g. November - March. They should flower every spring, but occasionally you'll see a summer or autumn flower if the weather is a bit up and down. Non-spring flowers are usually on short stems (maybe they soon realise they're flowering at the wrong time and grow a short stem to save energy). Some plants are proflific flowerers and some don't flower every year. The number of insects caught the year before might be a factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahMariia Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks for that advice all of my sarrs are rescued so maybe they've needed more time to recover from the GC. You can see the Eva at the back with the flowers. I'm not sure if they've pollinated themselves or not, I'm just going to experiment really and see what happens. They are just stating to colour up now too...finally haha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B52 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Your purpurea look great Hannah, nice big pitcher on your Darlingtoina to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahMariia Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 The purps have caught loads of slugs and have caught the flower petals from Eva. It's gross looking inside of them! LolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B52 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 My purp,s catch nothing at all in the greenhouse, but when I put them outside they catch loads of flys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahMariia Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I fill the purps pitchers with water as I read that unlike other sarrs they rely on rain water to fill up pitches and catch food. Catches lots of moths too. I heard something buzzing in one of them today. I check for bees and try to rescue them but they can't be saved from the darlingtoina Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannahMariia Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I tip them slightly to the side if I see a bee, or shove a branch in there and scoop it out!:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B52 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Lol. If insects fall in the water the plants are sat in I'll rescue them to fight another day, but not from the plants. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
