My Sarracenia flava plants have finished with their flowers, and now they're shifting gears to the pitchers. My rubricorpora has a nice crop in the works:

The ornatas are putting on a good show, too:

finally got a good rain yesterday, and the plants are soaking up the water and the sunshine.

they look absolutely amazing Mike. The flava var rubricorpora is gorgeous, that red and complementary green ... wonderful.

I got that beast from Mike Wang about 7 years ago, and I've been very happy with it. A brutal cold snap almost killed it in January 2018, but some of the rhizome survived. That pot has 3 sections with a total of 7 growth points. It's just starting with this year's crop of pitchers (the 14 flowers that they cranked out slowed things down a bit).

Mine haven’t even opened up a single flower yet
I’m gotta move down south some day.
