Hey everyone! I’m still stuck on this beginnings/seeds thread — so, before we embark further on our hybrid journey, I just wanted to show you what lies behind that shell. I took this photo in September of 2009. This particular cross is Sarracenia (oreophila x willisii) x “Green Frog”. This is a first glance of this cross in its seed/behind the shell form. I carefully stripped away the shell and left the seeds attached. Each one of those seeds has the potential to become some pretty interesting plant. Each will be different. Some will be stronger than others, some will appear to be more like one parent, and some will look more like the other. Some will clearly have characteristics of both. Each will be different; but for now as you can see – they all begin pretty much looking the same. All of these great plants we see around us start off the same. Lil’ small things. Yet, the potential inside each of those small things is inexplicably unfathomable.
