Your plants are looking great.

My jonesii almost doubled in size from when I got it last year.

Hard to believe that such a weed is endangered isn't it? I have a flat of seedlings and they have outpaced every other species by several pitchers.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing about why they are endangered as they grow so fast. I even moved mine and divided a piece off earlier this year and it still is growing like gangbusters and put up many flower stalks. Glad I moved it where it will have room to spread. It is a shame can't ship them out of state without some kind of permit as would make a great giveaway when they get out of hand.

Holy crap, that's a lot of filiformis!

Beautiful Sarracenia and snakes you have there, too.

As long as it is a giveaway you can ship them out of state, just can't trade or sell them across state lines.

I'd guess the snakes are probably western terrestrials of some sort, but I've got three very different garter snakes here. i wish the jonesii's would do as well for me as they do you though, as both forms I have are slower than any other!

I like it all, DJ. The snakes are a nice accessory - they can eat the slugs.

Wow! Everything is looking great with all the sun we're getting. Your filiformis looks particularly massive. Can't wait to catch up next weekend.

Bog's lookin nice! Really like those purpurea seedlings and that Appalachian Spring. And I'm not sure what that flava copper top-ish sarr is. The coloration resembles the copper top for sure, but the lid shape seems a bit different (slightly more upturned and a bit less circular than most cupreas seem to be, especially in the pitchers towards the bottom right of the plant), at least in my opinion. There might be something else in the ancestry, but I could be wrong about that...

Thanx, most everything is really liking this warmer weather except the capes, but they will get over it, haha. Looking forward to next weekend also.

Thank you. That flava was given to me by a friend when it was dormant and they had lost the tag, but thought it was a copper top. It was badly damaged right after I planted it in the bog in the winter of 2010 so never really did anything last year and I almost gave up and tossed it...sooo glad now I did not as it is looking very promising.
