A bit early, I know. There’s been a few plants that for some reason, ended up rotting for some unexplained reason after doing so well for years. (It happens.) In this case, the S. rosea “Big Mama” – once a huge multi point plant that I’ve had for years – just decided to go to the bog in the sky. UGH!! But why now?! Frustrating!! I’m thankful that at least a few others friends have this plant as a back up and had extras, and I’m thankful that I was able go replace it. Anyway, one of the pods on this was used in a cross with pollen from the monstrosity – Sarracenia “Smurf.”<\/p>\n

It was a cross I did early in the year so I am hoping that these seeds are viable. \u00a0A similar situation happened in July of last year with S. alata AF<\/a>. I’m sad to report those seeds did not sprout, and couple others who I’ve sent seeds to also reported that theirs did not sprout. I hope that this isn’t the case with this one.<\/p>\n

A few other plants that I crossed early in the year also appear to have ripe seed pods too. Greenhouse growing is something else and I’m getting the hang of growing in such a big space. I speculate that hot days could of contributed to some of these seed pods to also brown up prematurely? Who knows. Time will tell if these seeds are good.<\/p>\n
