Darling Babies

CUTE ALERT! Just an update on the Darlingtonia californica – mountain clone babies! These seedlings sprouted from seeds that were sent to me from Sam Bookhardt (on twitter: @SammLiberty) back in October of 2011. Check that post out here!

I’ve stratified and germinated these Darlingtonia seeds in the same fashion as  my Sarracenia seeds. (Check that post out here.) I’m proud to report that these babies sprouted and are doing well. Aren’t they just friggin’ adorable?!

Thanks again, Sam!

Just so you get a sense of scale – that’s my index finger next to the little Darlingtonia seedling below.  Now, don’t let their cuteness fool ya. They will grow up to be hungry monsters. Bugs, BEWARE!
