S. (oreophila x 'Royal Ruby') x 'Adrian Slack'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"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.

S. psittacinaSarracenia 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.

Sarracena rosea "Big Mama"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.

Gnat Control

Posted on August 1, 2012 | 1 comment

Pinguicula ‘John Rizzi’ doing it’s thang.

Fungus gnats are effin’ irritating. Plain and simple. Earlier this year I started to germinate my 2011 Sarracenia crosses (read up about how I started that here), and all the seedlings are doing awesome! One thing though that irritated the bajeebiez out of me were these freaking fungus gnats. I don’t think they posed any harm to the plants. In fact, the baby Sarracenia were already munching on these irritating creatures. (You can read about that here.) To help with some of that gnat control, I placed a few Pinguicula in the tray alongside the seedlings. I aslo did this last January too when starting my 2010 seeds behind glass. Before you know it, pretty soon I didn’t notice any more of these little pests flying around. Dude, if I could give my Pinguiculas a fist bump, I would. Good job, Pings. Good job.
