Darling Babies

Posted on June 24, 2012 | Leave a comment

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!

Looking Back…

It was one of those days today that caused me just to look back on everything… I was just going through some old photos and saw some of the first successful “sprouts” from 2007. Made me kind of chuckle cuz who would of thought that these few seedlings would be the humble beginnings of some major Sarracenia insanity…

Howdy y’all!

Sorry I haven’t really posted for a while. Lots of stuff going on for me lately. I just wanted to let ya know that *yes*, I am still alive. Today was my first day on the new job. I’ve been in transition mode last week, hence my short absence. I hope to settle into my new (and very awesome) schedule soon to bring you more Sarracenia and carnivore cheer. Yes.

Since we’re on the topic of seed germination and growth, (both in the garden and personally for me…) I wanted to show you how some of the new seeds are now doing out of the batch I referenced in the last post. I see green, and some little root hair thingies forming! Photo taken today, 6/6/11. Gawrsh, aren’t they cute?
