One of my first Sarracenia photographs. I was fortunate enough to have this Sarracenia catesbaei grow in this quasi terrarium for a couple years. Hey, I didn&#8217;t know any better! I did grow this plant outdoors though, so that did help a lot. I let the pitchers grow out of the top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a title=\"The Early Years by RCO911, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rco911\/4906272661\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4094\/4906272661_653820abd7_z.jpg\" alt=\"The Early Years\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>April 11, 2005. More quasi open terrarium action. Sarracenia &#8216;Scarlet Belle&#8217; in foreground.<br \/>\nSarracenia catesbaei in the back.

Again note the floral diversity and the Sarracenia pitchers growing behind the cacti\/succulents and Ginko biloba. Yes, that aquarium is filled with water plants. Yes, so is that really cool moss lined barrel that I made in the back ground. (I made 2 of them the other is out of the shot.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a title=\"The Early Years by RCO911, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rco911\/4906274785\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4076\/4906274785_c407f83f06.jpg\" alt=\"The Early Years\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>May 21, 2006.
