I have two 27 month old hybrid Sarracenia sending up flower buds. Is this unusual or common with hybrids??
These plants are from open-pollinated seed from my own plants, but I don't know their exact parentage. Seed were collected late in 2003, stratified, and allowed to germinate January 2004. At eight months old I have a picture of the one plant with 8" high pitchers. They were kept under lights the next winter, and finally placed outside last Spring (2005). I put them out too early and they "burned" from sun and/or cold, but recovered over summer, and were allowed to go dormant last fall. I now notice flower buds coming on 2 of the 3 I saved from this batch. Neat!!
