I am really excited. I am not a noob at carnivorous plants, but so far I have only had tropical varieties. Well, since my wife and I are buying our first house I can now get temperate varieties! We close on 10/23, but I felt it was appropriate to buy some Sarracenias prior to buying furniture
So, here they are. I have one Sarracenia leucopyhlla 'Tarnok' and one Sarracenia readii x moorei 'Big Red'
Thanks to Andy at flytrapshop.com! I measured both and they are over a foot tall. Not too shabby for my first North American pitcher plants. I planted them in a peat/perlite mix and have the lower portion of the rhizome buried but the growth points are above soil.
