First flowers for the season are making their way upward! SOO EARLY!! I love California for that fact alone, the extra long growing season. Anyone else, yet?
My warehouse wonders have been shooting up phyllodia like crazy the past couple weeks. I just put them outdoors this weekend. The S. purpurea may actually have a few pitcher leaves growing. The warehouse wonder 'Cupped Trap' VFT that I picked up a few weeks ago is pushing up another flower stalk. I just clipped the one that it had when I bought it a couple weeks ago.
None of the Sarracenia divisions (greenhouse / outdoor grown in Northern/Central Calif) I just got are showing any obvious activity but at least the untrimmed portions of the leaves are still green so I guess they are still alive.
Temps have been in the high 70's the past few days in Los Angeles.
My 'Hummer's Hurricane' has been blooming since the end of January. My S. × excellens has sent up a bud and my wife's S. oreophylla × flava has sent up two buds. This is the first time I have actually had Sarracenia flower for me.
I have 3 flowers coming!! Two on a "huricane creek white", and one on a "leah wilkerson". I cheated though. I was afraid to put them straight out into the winter weather here since they had been in a heated house for about a week. I was afraid their dormancy was already interupted. So after aquiring them and potting them up I put them in the GH instead of outside. So it coaxed them out early. The ones outside are still dorment.
Yes Not a number you will definately see a difference. The leaves just look different. I hope someone can take a picture for you. I will nto have time for the next 3 days. between work and school.
The shoots look pretty much the same: either flat and hook shaped or cone shaped with a longish spindly point. Some are reddish, some are green, some are red and green.
Those sound like leaves NOT a number. You will definately see a bud popping out from the center of the crown. Last year was the first time I had flowers and you can definately see a different. Again I will try to get pictures for you on friday.
