Persistent Pitchers

RobBlog, Darlingtonia, Sarracenia

March already?! What? Spring and new growth is right around the corner. But for now – it is still grey and cold out here. While most of the collection is looking very dry and crispy, a few persistent pitchers are still lingering from last season. Last season! Mostly S. purpurea and their hybrids seem able to hold a few traps through a PNW winter. I love how hardy these plants are. They really keep the yard interesting during those cold wet/icy days.
