2012: Opening Day

Posted on March 11, 2012 by Sarracenia Dude| 1 Comment

The first two pitchers of 2012 have inflated and opened up! (Although, I’m still waiting for the 2012 opening day of the SF Giants… but anyway, that’s beside the point…) The below pitchers opened up sometime last week – I haven’t been to the greenhouse to be able be there as they cracked open, but these two were the first to do their thing.  It’s just a couple pitchers for now, but the deluge of pitchers (and SF Giant’s pitchers…) to soon follow! Bring it on!!!

Surprise: S. (leucophylla x oreophila) Karen Oudean Clone x purpurea ssp. venosa

As I go thorough each bench and tray, it’s kind of cool finding things that I forgot about. It’s as if surprises await me as I go through and do my trimming duties.  The other day I was trimming through trays and found a cross I did a few years ago.  This is S. (leucophylla x oreophila), Karen Oudean Clone x purpurea ssp. venosa.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen some of these seedlings, but was pleasantly surprised to see how some were turning out.  Most of the pitchers were already going crisp but the horizontal line in the throat was a consistent feature in the other pitchers of this plant. A nice surprise to find, and I am really looking forward to seeing how this plant will be at full maturity. The rhizome is looking a bit swollen, so I hope that I can get some flowers when it comes time…

Oh boy, can’t wait to see what other surprises await me in the trimming fray!
