vft guy in SJ

VFT and Drosera lover
Well after a couple years of prodding, I finally got off my rear and went to vist Bugweed today. Here are a few snaps of his awesome collection.

Enjoy,
Steve

Just ignore the mess VFT Guy made  around my tables.       **That black tube you see snaking around in front of the tables is actually alive and is trained to move directly under the foot of anyone who attepmpts to enter the yard... **

P1010009.sized.jpg

This is Ron Lane's "lightly veined." Clone #2  I grant when it first opens, the veining is attractive, but not altogether too noticeable. The copper lid was a plus!
P1010010.sized.jpg

Good shot of the "Copper Lid".
P1010011.sized.jpg

This is the oldest leaf on Ron's clone #2. The veins have turned purple, and appear to have increased. Also, I noticed a purple flush in the throat. Wonder if I can bring that out of this plant somehow, next year?
P1010012.sized.jpg

Another shot of the oldest leaf. Not so lightly veined now. Whatever set this off had to do with maybe getting more sun, or more intense sun. (Uh, It wasn't the tannic acid I put in!)
 
P1010013.sized.jpg

Away shot of Ron lane's Oreo clone #2.

)**

P1010028.sized.jpg

Sorry, Ron. I did it again. Gave the once s. flava var. cuprea a name change. Now its s. flava var. atropurpurea. varietal name description said so. All I did was give it 12 to 14 hours of direct sunlight, and it does this to me. Now what, Ron??    **Some people just can't resist rocking the boat**
P1010029.sized.jpg

It occoured to me that posting 101 photos in a single post might seriously hamper users with slower connections, so I am splitting my post into 3 parts.

Enjoy,

S. minor var. okeefenokeensis Red Form. This shows a young new leaf and an older leaf. The older leafs white areoles have been completely filled with red. Must look beautiful inside the pitcher to an insect. The young leaf is just beginning to color, and it will be 2 to 4 weeks before its "windows" are filled in too!

Are your bogs drained?
 
  • #17
The all white top is s. X areolata, Citronelle White Beauty, from Mobile County, Alabama. Flower is yellow with a red blush. Seed available this September.
CCFC, all containers are, and have always been, undrained. The wetter the better as far as sarracenia are concerned.

Now that's what a head growers house should look like ! Awesome
 
  • #19
Oh man I want to visit youre house! I really like the S. x areolata, Citronelle white beuty! Its so purty!

Cheers

Again I tell you all, truly awesome is the collection of Phil Faulisi, or Rob Saciloto, to John Hummer. These collections are huge. Mine is small, but healthy. As are the larger collections of those mentioned. So the collection is fair, but still not where I would like it to be. Collecting is a rewarding thing to do to preserve our Sarracenia future. And I am not talking collecting from the field. But amongst each other. Get into the field you want to do, and do it. Location collecting? Go for it! Hybrids your interest? Hybridize!! But do it legally, and in the open.
