pond boy,
It is subtle form of botanical humor. A horticultural play on words, even if it was bad. Drug addicts when they need a fix refer to it as 'jonesing.' Sarracenia addicts refer to it as jonesii-ing, as in sarracenia rubra jonesii. Get it?
Hey Dustin,
Are those oreophila pics recent? If so, I am amazed to see them looking like that at this time of year. Mine are all gone, except for the phyllodia.

Hay spec. Your S. alabamensis looks a lot different than my alabamensis look alike, so I'm not sue about that one. Where did you get theese sarracenia
, they're beautiful!!!! Especially that leoc
. Heck, your greenhouse reminds me of CA Carnivores
Those pitchers are amazing. The willisii is sooooooo pretty. Man I can't wait til next year when I could put together a minibog and start growing some pitchers.
Aaron, yeah it's recent, today as a matter of fact. The pitchers are just starting to crisp up and deteriorate. You can see in a few pics the tops are decaying. What do you think about the S. alabamensis? Is that true? Oh and do you think it's oreo? Carl Mazur said it looks like S. oreo 'sand mountain' "The best clone I've seen in all my years of CPing." So I take his word but I still want others opinions, and it's not that I don't doubt Mike but I just like to have reinforcment ID clarification.
Nathaniel, look at my user. I'm not spec. My alabamensis is still quite young so it needs time to develope fully. The S. leucophylla is from Florida from my friends bog garden, he actually plants his Sarracenia in the ground by a seep area, some purps grow there naturally and I think 1 lone flava and numerous sundews. He dug this one plant up for me. I think he's ordered some oreo's and rubra wherry's for some more variety.
Beautiful pics, Brooks. Your greenhouse kept sarrs look every bit as good as the wild ones. I wish I could get back down to the Minimac Bog Gardens in Alabama just about now to see the lueks in their fall colors. I like the phrase....jonesii-ing
