As Monday looms right around the corner, I’m leaving this weekend on a nice note; behold the pitchers of one of my favorite Sarracenia moorei’s (a moorei is a flava/leucophylla cross; see a general run down of the species here) is starting to color up now. This particular one was created by fellow Sarracenia addict bro dude, Phil Faulsi – it’s Sarracenia leucophylla “Purple Lips” x flava v. ornata. I love this particular clone – it’s coloration will only intensify as the season progresses, and the nectar rim that is now a light color will go deep purple/black. I love chunky-ish feel of the overall pitcher formation as well. Truly, a spectacular Sarracenia.

A Non Colorful Day

I’ve been ill the past few days. Dumb f#@$’n flu/cold thing. It sucks. I’ve been living off a mad concoction of Dayquil, Robitussin, Advil, Nyquil, Aleve, Patron, Vicks Vapor Rub, Patron, Fisherman’s Friend coughdrops, Ricola, Patron, and snorting Thera Flu. Just kidding – not all that stuff. Just the shoving of the Vicks up my nose and Thera Flu maybe… heh. (Uh, pay no attention to me now, these are meds are talking. Deeellleeerrrium.)

Anyway, I pretty much rested up for most of the day today, and had enough strength to go out in the garden and shoot around a bit. Hangin’ out with the plants is a much better medicine than all that stuff I mentioned earlier. They always make me feel a little better. Here’s a few black n’ whites cuz I’m feeling very non-colorful right now. I hope I feel more colorful after this dumb flu-cold-illness-cold-weirdness-body-achey-thing is over and done with… Oh bleh.

Enjoy… 🙂
