sarracenia lover
Hello everyone! I love sarracenias and over the last couple of months i've bought, been gifted and traded for several different sarracenia seed. Theyre mostly hybrids because I really like the unique looks of some hybrids. I also tried, for the most part, to pick parents that are colorful because i'm attracted to red pitchers. Thats probably why S purpurea is my favorite sarracenia.

Now, a few things have germinated and I thought i'd share some pics:).

There are most definitely more that i'll list up as they germinate.

I do realize the seeds like Leah Wilkerson wont give me an actual LW. I'll keep this updated as seeds germinate and get bigger:).
 
Good luck! One day you'll have an absolutely amazing Sarr collection!
 
Thanks LK and Eric:)!
 
looks great!! Good luck with the seeds!
 
Beautiful plants! How long does it typically take for a sarr to start producing adult pitchers? I've been thinking of making my own hybrids, though since I'm a college student and not sure where I'll be in five years' time, having tons of sarr seedlings doesn't really seem possible. :\
 
Oh hey how big are those Sarracenia Rosea seedlings? They look rather large for plants started this year. O_O?

I'm not positive but i'd say a few years.

how big are those Sarracenia Rosea seedlings?
Not that big. Theyre in a 12 oz cup and have just started going through a growth spurt. The biggest pitcher on plant #2 is probably around 2 1/2 inches at the most.
 
:0o: Woah. That's actually pretty large for a Sarracenia Purpurea seedling in one year of growth. I gotta get me some seeds then. Did you fertilize it at all?

Oh wow, your sarra seedlings are so nice :love: I wish I could grow mine so well!

Thank you thez yo:)!

Holy germination percentage!

I'm definitely interested in trading some one of those S. leuco "purple and white" x flava var. rubricorpora seedlings once they get larger.
