Kegman, Don't listen to Spec, he speaks from a lack of experience, but he's trying. I got a plant from Jerry in Georgia a couple of months ago. The plant Sarracenia minor, Long County, Georgia came with a very small but noticable flower bud. I planted the rhizome and just added water. And I waited. And waited. Then, I waited some more. Almost 2 months later, and poking up through the soil were, not 1, but 2 buds to bloom for me. The plant has a its own schedule of when it will bloom, or abort a flower. A flower that aborts, simply starts to die back. A flower that may be, just hangs out waiting for the time IT likes for flowering. Then it will come alive and start to grow. Remember, books cannot teach you the flowers habits. The plant itself will teach you all you need to know. Learn to read your plants, you will learn more there than any book can teach you.
