Nightshift

I would usually do all my work in the greenhouse while the sun would shine, but I’ve recently installed some lights to work by! No longer limited by daylight hours, I can get a little bit more work done after hours. Sweet!

S. ‘Black Widow’ x flava var. ornata

Last year, I didn’t really see any strong defining characteristics with the plants as they were waking up. From what I’m seeing, this year is off to a strong start. Yo, it’s friqin’ exciting seeing the plants wake up looking happy. Most of the plants are still dormant, but there are some that are awake. One of the recent pitchers that I came across was of S. ‘Black Widow’ x flava v. ornata. This cross was done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman in 2008.  I’ll be watching this one as I suspect that it will get darker as the season progresses.
