We’ve been having some really weird June weather here. In fact, it has been the wettest June of record since 1849. We’ve had more rain than January! (It’s been quite a dry January for us…) What is going on?! Anyway, today after I got home, the rain lightened up a little bit enough for me to get out and get a few snapshots of the Sarracenia. Enjoy!

Hey, at least I didn’t have to water the plants today! 
Stay dry everyone!
I would love to try growing a carnivorous plant…where would I find one in the Northern New York area….I could start with a Venus flytrap, but I remember the children trying to grow them…it was not ever a successful venture….
These pictures are soooooo beautiful~
Hi Betty! Thanks for checkin’ out the site and for your kind words. Yes, there are many people that grow carnivores in that area. Check out some of the links I list here on the blog for good information on carnivores. Also, check out http://necps.org/ – the New England Carnivorous Plant Society. A lot of good information on there. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions as well!
Cheers! -Rob
I am beginning to think you and I have very similar tastes in Sarracenia….those dark flava hybrids, the white tops inherited from leucophylla, the dramatic markings and the antho-free clones. And so exquisitely photographed as well. Kudos all ’round!
Thanks Paul! You have some amazing, and STUNNING photographs too! I love these types of Sarracenia that you mentioned, and pretty much anything interesting looking! I look forward to seeing more on your site, and thanks for your kind words as well!
Happy Growing!
