Flower Watch 2014

S. flava hybrid. probably flava x rubra




Most advanced of my flowers for this year. i see lots of marbles here and there.
 
All of my Sarracenia are buried under snow right now. I think you beat everyone to the party by 3 months.
 
It's time for the sarrs to bloom in Hawaii, giving the rest of us hope for springtime. I like the first one best. 'Nice blending of pink and yellow.
 
indeed......I seen the beginnings of a couple flowers in my gh so tomorrow the plan is to put them back outside since it is mild this week but this year I do plan on using my gh to break dormancy in early march and get a head start on the growing season this year.

Good looking flowers. Not much action around my way.

I noticed you cut back all of the leaves and left the flowering stalk. Why? Should I be doing this if my Sarracenia has put up a flower stalk and it's starting to bulge out a little?

You'll notice most of the cut back leaves are dead leaves from last season. There is really no reason to cut off a perfectly good, still green and functioning pitcher.

So far I have buds emerging on S. flava var. flava; alata Tyler Co, TX; leucophylla Garcon Point C; 'Matoaka', and strangely minor var. okeefenokeensis Ware Co, GA Clone X. Okay, that last one came in from California, so it's ahead of everyone else.

Should I be cutting the dead leaves off as it happens or only during a certain time of the season?

Most people do it during the winter because there is a greater chance of fungus and bacteria due to the large amount of dead leaves. During the growing season dead leaves aren't really a problem, and it is much easier to trim the dead leaves off all at once in my opinion.
