My new Sarracenia leucophylla tarnok. It is more than 2FT tall!
Clearly my purpureas are loving the way I grow them, those are the biggest pitchers I have seen so far from a S. purpurea.
Catesbaei, love bug, lady bug, rubra, lecophylla, flava, minor, lava var, atropurpurea x var ornata.....and others:
B52:
Seed growns: I didn't found many of plants having tooth variation but instead more plants with the red pigmentation. Even with the rainy days and days so cloudy, the plants which are all green in the outside maintain a very extreme red on the inside.
This is my VFT Long Maroon Monster, which was sent by Matt almost 2 years ago I think and it looks a lot like FTS Maroon Monster. This VFT is still small but it has shown to be a great plant with vey deep red coloration inside and the leaf blade with a combination of red in the margin with green....this plant certainly is growing well and grows vigorously like FTS Maroon Monster. The plant next to it looks a bit like Long Maroon Iris except that that the leaf blade is much more thinner and doesn't grow as vigorously as this one. Also, compare the other surrounding red plants and you will understand why this is a great VFT! I will put this VFT in TC this summer!
More comparisons of green vs red VFT's:
Some bigger VFT's with no name yet, the traps are very big and grow very vigorously, they remind me of yet another FTS VFT such as FTS Etna.
I didn't measure the leaf blade, but of course you can see it is very large:
This is another VFT ( no name yet) grows like the other VFT above and looks like FTS Etna except that the teeth are much shorter and wide:
And this is another:
And more small VFT's:
Dionea was mentioning a lot of tooth variation, in this case, the ones I have show more red pigmentation and not much tooth variation. These are very appealing to the eye as they are completely all green and then the inside is completely deep red.
And yes, they are submerged in the water:
A very interesting VFT with traps that look like cupped traps, small traps but the leaf blades are long:
VFT Long Red fingers:
The few VFT's I allowed to flower:
S. flava var. atropurpurea x var. ornata:
VFT Fused tooth:
A nice blend of D. capensis and D. capensis 'alba':
D. tracyi:
D. filiformis:
VFT Fused tooth:
A nice comparison of color, the very green VFT is FTS Etna, and the red one is VFT Scarlet Maroon Iris:
Not sure:
B52:
VFT Trichterfalle:
VFT Bristletooth:
S. leucophylla hurricane creek
S. minor:
Glucose produced by S. flava var. atropurpurea x var. ornata:
S. love bug:
s. purpurea var. venosa:
I am able to fit about 2ml of water to the biggest pitcher:
D. capensis 'alba':
I love that B52 and fused tooth trap. Its just mesmerising!
