Sarracenia – Summer Sanctuary 2014


Sarracenia – Summer Sanctuary 2014

It’s hard to believe, but summer 2014 is drawing to a close and autumn is right around the corner. I put together clips from the past couple of months to commemorate this Sarracenia sanctuary’s summer. Enjoy!

Summer Solstice Seedlings

Happy (belated) Summer Solstice! YES!

To kick off the summer, here’s a few random photos of some seedlings. Most are 1-3 years old.  I snapped these photos during the summer solstice late afternoon. Just a few things here and there, hope you enjoy them.  By the way, I’ve noted who the cross was done by for proper credit down below. Where blank, it was yours truly :).

Not much else to say here except, Happy Summer! Enjoy the sun! (…And Sarracenias!)
