Very elegant and VERY well done Trent. Kudos.

sunny south Florida.
A cold front is moving thru this weekend and we will see night temps down to 52 F Friday night thru Sunday night. We expect this will spur more blooms and nice pitcher color.
Michelle took those shots mid-morning today, and will try again this afternoon.
 
Very nice Trent! It's good to see so many pitcher plants awake and ready for business

I live in east central Florida and mine are just beginning to send up pitchers. I took a couple shots of the first two flowers to open today. I posted them for all.

Yours look very well, Trent. You are doing a great job with them.
 
Temps down to 52 Friday night??!!!! Egads, I'll be lucky if it will reach 52 in the DAY this weekend, still below freezing at night here in NJ.
My Sarracenia are still COMPLETELY dormant.
Thank you for sharing the pictures!! Those leucos are FANTASTIC!!!!
Can't wait for Spring here.......

Another view of leuco world, with S. rubra flowers in front.

Thanks for your comments everyone.  Phil, your pics are inspirational.

It's hard to get a good composition in the forest of tubes.  It's impossible to capture what the eye sees in a photo, but Michelle does a pretty good job.

In the first pic we posted, can anyone find the Nepenthes pitcher?  It's an upper of N. 'Manny Herrera'.  [instead of "where's Waldo"... lets try "where's Manny"].  It may be easier to find if you have the link to blow up the photo size       Link to 1st pic

More pics coming soon.

Bob Wins!!!
(But we don't know what)
That Nep is from Manny's select seedling that has red-purple leaves when grown in full sun. It grows on the Sarr bench, complete with cold fronts and humidity drops.
The hybrid is khasiana x mirabilis.

Yes, thanks a lot for sharing your pictues! Would have been a treat deep in to the growing season, but I barely even have a new pitcher open yet, so it's a real nice thing to see some flourishing plants right now!

Thanks Bugweed and everyone.  

Here is another interesting plant.  This is a dwarf purple leucophylla from Okaloosa County, FL a few miles east of Crestview.  The photo doesn't do the plant justice.  It has a distinctive grape purple venation and stands out from all of our other leucos. This plant came from a private collection and we were told that the stand of Sarracenia where it came from was mostly S. flava.  A special note that the S. flava were solid green, not slash throats.  Only a few leucos were scattered in the group and no S.rubra gulfensis to be seen anywhere.  Odd how color like this can crop up out of no where. The stand has since been destroyed.

Here is the S. moorei bench again, around three weeks after the pic above.

Post pics soon Bugweed. We're waiting to see.

More to come.
