The Prince of Darkness Awakens

Sarracenia 'Alucard' "Prince of Darkness" is awakeSarracenia ‘Alucard’ – “Prince of Darkness”

Signs of spring are being found throughout the Asylum in an increasing frequency. I’m seeing more and more flower buds starting to emerge and new pitchers forming. It’s a great sign, and yeah, I nerd out when seeing things like this. One of the recent finds was of S. ‘Alucard’ “Prince of Darkness.” This is a select S. ‘Alucard’ clone that was created by Phil Faulisi. In the fray of phyllodia, a new pitcher of darkness rises. The “Prince of Darkness” is awake!

  1. Awesome! I’m clear across the country, and my plants are still snoozing. Can’t wait to catch up!

  2. frightening! the bogs are under snow in the balmy 3*F temps we have right now, will be a long time before i see new pitchers

    • Snow! I’m kind of jealous as I don’t get to see any of that here! Plus, I wish I had more time here before the plants really wake up as I’d like to get more repotting and divisions done. :)

  3. You made it sound very horrifying haha

    My sarrs should also be waking up soon maybe a week or two from today, cant wait! :-D
