I’m back in the SF Bay! Seattle was amazing, as always! It was a wonderful week of rejuvenation and relaxation – not to mention seeing some awesome carnivores at Karen Oudean’s and Jerry Addington’s place. I’ll share the photos in a soon-to-come future post.

So anyway, a week later I came home to the buds swelling and opening up. It’s always nice to see these things explode into colors, and it made for a nice welcome home indeed. I started to collect pollen and do a few hybridizations. The madness begins: vacation over and now time to get to (hybridizing) work!

Welcome Home A few buds about to explode.

Sarracenia moorei flower

Sarracenia courtii x ‘Adrian Slack’ – Select Clone

Sarracenia “Blood Moon” x luteola – crossed this before I left for vacation. I see the flower is now nodding upwards so hopeful that the cross took.

An Open Welcome Home

Howdy! I’m back.

Last week in Seattle was simply awesome! I loved getting away and going to my home away from home. I miss it up there…

And yeah, I’m working on putting the photos together for ya and it will be a future post… (hope to get it up sooner or later!)

Anyway, the plants seemed happy to see me back … here’s a few shots of the pitchers. When I left they were pretty much closed off but have opened during the week while I was out. Oh, what a nice welcome back home…
