This has been a tough year for my outdoor plants. First of all, I ordered this batch of plants from Mike Wang, who grows them in CA outdoors where they experienced a short, mild Winter and an early Spring. When I got the plants in February, most of them had begun Spring growth already and many had flower stalks forming. That was a problem. We didn't start having consistent Spring-like weather until THIS month. We had an unusually long winter where daytime highs were in the low 60s (on good days) and night lows dipping down at or below 40 F as recently as late April. So the plants immediately got set back because they had to be put in my garage for about 6 weeks (to keep them from falling back into complete dormancy), and then moved from inside to outside a bunch until this Month. I lost a very large Sarracenia minor var okefenokeensis and 3 ADULT Sarracenia leucophylla Hurricane Creek White clones.
Most of the more resilient plants are just now starting to produce some healthy traps so I thought I'd share some photos of these tough plants surviving the outdoors in one of the most unpredictable places anyone could ever try to grow CPs.
