Slack Spring

A few of the plants  here are already putting out new pitchers.  Seasons here in the mild Bay Area generally cause the Sarrs to have a little bit of a head start compared to most other places. I know it’s still technically winter but… things are already a-happenin’ over here. Yes, most of my plants are indeed still dormant, but many are coming out of dormancy, and yet other plants (grown outdoors) even have full blown pitchers that have recently opened! Flower pods are forming and things will soon be in full swing.

Anyway, here’s a few Sarracenia ‘Adrian Slack’ plants that are springin’ into growth!

Sproutage!

Howdy y’all!  I was out checking some seeds that I started this year and to my delight, saw one sprouting!  I did this cross early on this year, harvested seed roughly a month ago, put through about 2 weeks cold stratification in the fridge and… viola!

Reptilian Rose x Adrian Slack

By the way…I did this same cross last year and only had a few seeds from that pod.  A few of those germinated but none survived. (Don’t ask…) I was so torn… anyway, hope to have better success this year.
