Rising Blades

The form of new pitchers rising are blade-like in appearance. These swords and spears cut and pierce their way into spring; they slice past the wreck of last year’s foliage. Soon they will inflate and morph into the cylindrical savage beauty that I am so enamored by.

Homecoming

Posted on February 25, 2013 | 3 comments

There’s no place like home. Like I mentioned in my last post, I deeply enjoyed my visit up north (thanks again Mark!), but it feels great to be back home and with the plants again. Below are some photos from my first day back in the Asylum. A few traps here and there… as well as a few blooms, and a few buds that I’m really excited to work with! Enjoy!

Greenhouse
The Asylum. It’s great to be home.

Pinguicula doggy-piggy-bank planter, sending up a bloom!

Sarracenia ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x minor var. okefenokeensis
Sown last year and growing quickly.

Sarracenia alata x rubra ssp. wherryi, MBRS clone.

Sarracenia ((rubra x oreophila) x flava v. rugelii) x ‘Adrian Slack’
-Select Clone-
The pitchers from very late last season are still holding color well.

S. ‘Godzuki’ x ((rubra x oreophila) x flava v. rugelii)

Sarracenia flava “Heavy Veined” flower breaking open.

Sarracenia ‘Adrian Slack’
FINALLY, a BUD! After 2 years with no bloom, I finally get one this year!
Hope it survives and actually blooms for me though…

Sarracenia 'Smurf'
Ok, I know. It’s a freak. S. purpurea “Smurf” has a bud.
This should be interesting.

Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa var. burkii f. luteola
Got another one with a bud! I wonder if I should cross with the Smurf? Hmm…

Hey everyone, hope your having a good week so far! Here’s a few more photos of some plants that are awake and are standing out among their (slowly waking) siblings. Enjoy!

Sarracenia moorei, Yellow River x [((purpurea x flava) x flava) x minor]
A cross I did around 2008.

Just a few random shots from around the ‘house… enjoy!

Pinguicula “John Rizzi” in bloom

S. (oreophila x ‘Royal Ruby’) x ‘Adrian Slack’ – young pitcher of a cross I did a couple of years ago. I believe that this is a pitcher that was sent up a bit later last season.

S. [(oreophila x minor) x (purpurea x rubra) x leucophylla] x “Green Frog”
This is a complex hybrid I did a few years ago. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen some characteristics from this baby.

Sarracenia psittacina
This is a large clone from Jerry Addington. It is still dormant and was recently repotted. It does not look like much now, but hoping it throws out some beast-mode behemoth foliage once it wakes from dormancy.

Sarracenia rosea “Big Mama”
It’s currently dormant and recently repotted. Just like the S. psittacina above, I am hoping it throws out some beast-mode behemoth foliage once it wakes.
