The collection November 2014

I took some night pics. Here is most of my collection. Everything is starting to go dormant this time of the year.

Some Closer pics of outside plants

S. Leucophylla "green" x flava var. ornata bulloch co, Ga

These are some old pictures taken this summer. This is a special plant to me that I think has great potential. The top view of the lid could look amazing when older, as the veins darken to a almost black color. My dad bought me this plant last time he was at California carnivores. 

 

Here are some really early pictures from when i first got the plant

Suitland bog, MD

This was my first time ever seeing sarracenia in the wild. I have seen some droseras in the wild near Lake Tahoe but never sarracenia. 

This location is called suitland bog. It is found a few miles outside of Washington Dc.

Sorry

OppS. I am a terrible person :( I have been gone for so long :( my camera has been broken and I have been super busy. But I am back :). I will try to get at least two posts a week. To the Americans, have a great Turkey Day

Sarracenia oreophila x purpurea subsp. venosa

This is a very nice plant i got from california carnivores early last year. I thought it had a neat trait on the one leaf, but for the next year it had none like that first leaf. I almost named it when it had that leaf, but i decided not to. These last few leaves it has made has the same trait that had me pick it out. It can also get a nice shade of red later in the season.

Venus Fly Traps

Yes, i do own some flytraps. I just have not had a chance to post any pics of them until today.

CCPS auction

I just won a nice purpurea and some seeds from Fred P though the CCPS auction that ended this evening. I won a purpurea subsp. venosa "Brunswick bueaty" (shown above) and some S. purpurea subsp. venosa x wilkersons red seeds from him as well.

New FREE Plants

Yay. I just got two new plants in the mail. I got a wherry from a give away on Terrafourms and a rubra ancestral form from crawford co, GA from a kind member also on terrafourms. I cant wait to grow these out.

 Wherry 

S. rubra subsp gulfensis ? ancestral form Crawford co, GA

More Seeds

I harvested more seeds. I cant wait to package them up tonight :)

S. oreophila "sand mountain" x flava var. ornata (f1)

I also harvested some oreophilas and (S. leucophylla "Shnells gost" x S. readii) f1

Also over the next few days, i will be creating a sales page where i will have some seeds for sale if anyone s interested :)

Roseas from Chiplo river, Florida and from Baldwin Co, AL

This was the very first rosea i ever recived. I got it as a smaller plant late last year, and had one sad looking green leaf. It has done nothing since then, when it made a few very colorful fat leaves.

This next rosea i received

from Mike Wang early in the year. It looked very nice most of the year, but does not look that good right now, but it has several new leaves growing.

Purps

Purpureas are one of my favorite species. There are two subspecies, subsp. venosa is found south of Virginia and subsp. purpurea is found north of Virginia. They are some of the easiest cps to grow.

S. purpurea subsp. venosa Tantell, GA

This plant is from the southern most population of venosa, everything below that is rosea.

S. purpurea subsp. venosa Old Dock, NC (clone H)

S. purpurea subsp. purpurea f. heterophylla

This plant has no red coloration, since it is antho free

First Seed Harvest

This morning, i harvest me first seeds of the season. They are S. oreophila "alabama" x flava var. cupurea "BH". They seem healthy, the ones i am keeping are already stratifying. I had two flowers with this cross, one of them i thought was ready early in the year, and they were not viable.

These pictures of the parents are both taken by mike wang:
