Well ive been a member on the forum for a while and have never really posted much. I thought id show my flavas and leucophylla (i have vfts and a lowes purp too) and how i got them.
Last summer i went to the Francis Marion national forest in SC because i was already at the beach. I asked the front office and got a permit to take a couple sarracenia flavas straight from the wild! sweet. It took forever to find them but when I did....
these are some MASSIVE pitcher plants. The biggest of them would be shoulder height on me (im 6'1''). I got some of the smaller ones like this one.
I brought them home and got em set up
they browned a bit from stress. they appear to be var. maximas but with some veining. they all looked the exact same.
When the seed pods dried up i gave most of the seeds to a horticulturist from my church and he gave me this beauty
its a tarnok leuco (so no seeds for me)
here they are together
so what do you guys think?? ill post some current pics of them tomorrow to show their new spring growth
