A couple years ago I had this strange notion of crossing a very colorful clone of a nice deep red S. courtii with S. ‘Adrian Slack’.  There’s a lot of seedlings from this batch that are coming up pretty nice.  Here’s one pitcher that recently opened.   I’m really looking forward to seeing how these babies will do in the coming years. You may of remembered this entry close to a year ago.  Almost a YEAR ago!  It’s just amazing seeing the “kids” grow up! Geez.

It’s a trip.  Speaking of kids, my youngest is starting kindergarten in the coming weeks ahead.  And my eldest starts first grade.  DUDE.  REALLY?! WTF, where does this time go?! I’m amazed and blown away at how fast time goes by. Seriously!  There’s always that constant parallel of growth in life with the garden.  I love how I can look at the garden and see how it echoes different events and milestones in my life.  YES I’d like to see all these seedlings I have grow up to maturity, however I’m also learning that it takes time.  It’s really teaching me to savor the moment and enjoy every moment, and every season I am in.   It doesn’t last forever…
