The pod.
I took this photo of a Sarracenia seed pod last year (2009) and thought it would be fitting to share during this “beginning” of this blog. Contained in the pod are the little seeds of the beautiful tubular death leaves. Encapsulated in each seed is beauty. The Sarracenia’s beauty for me lies in both it’s aesthetic form and deadly function.
The pod is a milestone in hybridizing that I strive for. For me, this is where the perception and interpretations are made manifest. This is where the hypothesis begins to solidify. In the pod are the seeds of vision that will be tried in period of cold stratification and then brought to life later in warmth and light.
