Dude, I’m so F****N’ excited! Back on 13 May 2012 Dahlia and I planted the 2011 Sarracenia crosses. Instead of the usual 4-6 weeks in cold stratification, the crosses were left in cold and damp stratification for over 3 months. It’s been very rough so I haven’t been able to get to them as soon as I would of liked to. Anyway, a week later, on 20 May 2012, I began to notice that the seeds sprouted!
Seeing this gives me a renewed sense of hope, especially given the very rough growing season I’ve been having so far. Many promising crosses have sprouted and there are so many awesome things to look forward to. Anyway, a few folks have asked me about how to germinate Sarracenia seeds. A post on my set up and Sarracenia seed germination to follow soon! In the meantime, here’s a couple photos of the next generation.
