Plantfreak Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Can some people give me some opinions on what is the most satisfying CP that they have ever grown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I grow mostly Sarracenia so it has to be that. As for satisfaction I think that comes from growing a plant to adult size from seed. S. leucophylla I've grown are not quite adult and I'm having great difficulty in selecting the best from an impressive group (if I do say so myself ). Another from seed is S. 'Orange Fire' x S. flava v. ornata (seed originally from Cedric) which produced a surprising red cross and is one of my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Ok, thanks. Sarracenia is one of my favorite species too! (Although I don’t have any at the moment, I hope to get some soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 this is always a difficult question to answer but I think for me Pinguicula just beat Sarracenia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropfrog Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hmm, I like miniatures. Then I can keep many species in my small awailable space. Small pinguicula and utricularia inside. Outside I have more space, so there I go wild on sarracenias. I guess the conclusion is that the Most satisfying plants to grow is the Ones you can give needed space and correct Environment. Too many plants in a too small space or wrong Environment does not thrive. Plants that do not thrive are not as exiting as the Ones that do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates666 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I too am Sarracenia biased and grow mine outdoors in bogs all year round, probably the best value Sarracenia outdoors (although not my favourite) is 'Dixie Lace' as it goes through the winters well, keeping its pitchers without damage for normally two years or more, grows into a good looking clump readily, is good to look at both close up and from a distance, needs little maintenance and looking good through winter when everything else is brown and toppled over, always makes you warm to a plant. Otherwise for satisfaction, you have to go with the 'lookers' big mooreis, red flavas, leucophylla 'alba' or oreophila with deeply coloured throats and lips, or ornatas, I could go on - well they are all beautiful otherwise we wouldn't grow them, would we?

Pings can also keep me fairly busy during Winter. Unfortunately we live in a windy area where our garden acts as a wind tunnel so outdoor Sarrs don't grow well...although I do still manage to keep a few outdoors. ...and I did say "just" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I’m aiming to get pings as well as sarrs, and they are both very attractive. (Also vfts, neps, drosera, and possibly Heliamphora) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 for all of your opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperD Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 My favourites would be drosera: They are so diverse, most are easy to grow, if you choose small plants you can fit a whole lot on your windowsill, they keep your house free of flies and they glisten beautifully in the sunlight. Utricularia and sarracenia would be close second though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yeah, I agree. Drosera are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana1990 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 This is an awesome plant. I love the form of the purpureas and the color of this particular plant. Very easy to care for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
