I am hoping to assess the levels of obsession with Sarracenia out there.
Feel free to guesstimate, but I would be intrigued to know:
-How many crosses do you make each year?
-How many seedlings do you produce and grow each year?
-How many plants do you cull?
-How many plants/seedlots/seedlings do you purchase?
This year was the first year I began making deliberate crosses, and I made perhaps 20. I've got maybe 1000 unique seedlings coming up. Since I don't have a huge amount of Sarrs right now, I have the time to transplant them out... only culled a dozen or so per cross. Additionally, I have maybe a dozen Sarr seed batches stratifying from ICPS as well as temperate Drosera seedlings.
Next year should be really insanely crazy, because I am expecting quite a few first-time bloomers!
