Hello Autumn. My favorite season indeed. I love how the sun is starting to get lower on the horizon casting lengthening shadows day by day. It’s kinda summery-ish here in my area – at least maybe for the rest of this week or something. I do notice the mornings are getting that increasingly crisp cool edge on them. I start to immerse myself in pumpkin spice lattes, fireplaces on the cooler nights, and… of course — MORE GARDEN WORK!!! Yep, I’m doing a lot of clean up still removing old pitchers and foliage about the garden. There’s so much to do – and I enjoy doing it!
Yeah, I know its been a few days since I’ve posted … I’ve really been busy cleaning up the mess back here… I’ve also been busy with a few other projects – but it’s always good to get away from the computer/desk and be out in the garden. Back to the garden to get grounded. I actually prefer it out there.
Here’s a few shots of how autumn 2011 is starting off. I’m just randomly snapping about in the garden – not all photos are of Sarracenia, and not all are carnivorous plants… however, all for me are enjoyable to grow!
A few Sarracenia flava clones.
Stick around a bit! Drosera binata spp. dichitoma.
Bromeliad
Tub full of Sarracenia — man this needs some cleaning up.
Drosophyllum lusitanicum.
A few Sarracenia courtii AF x ‘Green Monster’ seedlings.
It’s like a jungle sometimes…
The Spiral Aloe: Aloe polyphylla.
Sarracenia seedlings.
Sarracenia nastiness going on. See all those dead pitchers? F*ckin’ nasty.
Dahlia.
Dahlia.
Greenhouse. Needs a shave/haircut/Katana blade treatment… nasty.
Sarracenia. I really should do something about those weeds…
Sarracenia – going crispy.
Sarracenia flava… going crispy.
Tillandsias.
A red Sarracenia moorei – starting to burn out and go dormant.
This first one doesn’t have much color showing; that I know. At least not just yet. I am loving the floppy pitcher hood and wide sweeping mouth configuration here. The hood right now has very subtle coloration of lighter green splotches – I hope with age and a bit of stronger light it will bring out this characteristic. It’s still a seedling so it’s currently in a greenhouse with very bright filtered light.
