One of the things that I enjoy about keeping this blog is being able to go back, look at plants and how they progress. It’s kind of fun going through the archives<\/a> and taking that walk down memory lane.<\/p>\n

Back at the beginning of June, I wrote about the greenhouse move that I had to undergo<\/a> because of the horrid conditions that the plants were growing in. I’m currently in a temporary holding location that offers slightly brighter light and the difference it is making is remarkable.<\/p>\n

Below are photos of Sarracenia ‘Black Widow’ x flava v. rubricorpora that I grew from seed from a cross that Dr. Travis H. Wyman did back in 2008. \u00a0I photographed the same pitcher over the course of several weeks to document the color change.<\/p>\n

In the first photo below left – this is what the plant looked like in dim conditions on 27 May 2012. After a couple weeks in the brighter location, the mouth started to color up. (Photo below right, 17 Jun 2012.) \u00a0The last photo below is a photo that I took yesterday and my hypothesis was correct – the plant is starting to color up. Keep in mind that this isn’t even direct sunlight and I can only imagine what it will be like next year when it gets started at the big location with direct light. Hoping for a deeply colored\u00a0crimson\u00a0plant. What a difference lighting makes!<\/p>\n
