They are both unidentified at the time but a I believe there is some leucophylla in the left one and possibly some flava in the right. I made a division on the right one before I planted them up and the division is making a flower as well.
I am on the kick of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" thing. I want the divisions to focus on repairing the tissue where it was divided rather than flowering.
Flowers still produce tissue for photosynthesis - a flower in no different from a pitcher in growth terms. It's the formation of seeds that require excess energy.
If you have a less than healthy plant, flowering just means you end up with two poor pitchers and a flower stem instead of three poor pitchers.
A flower also is made of fairly sturdy stuff and will photosynthesise for longer than the equivalent pitcher.
i have several stalks coming up. rubra. leuco and leuco red. they woke up early in the fridge and it is still freezing outside. they are potted up and under 1 CFL bulb(75watt equivilant i think...) the stalks so far are green. and i going to get green flowers? and will this have any negative effects on the flowering?
good. as the stalks get taller they are actually becoming redder and redder on mine. faint hints of red. i just dont want a green leuco or rubra flower that is supposed to be red! i may be doing some crosses this year too.
