Nothing terribly special here, mostly S. leucophylla "Hurricane Creek White" and some AJ01 from Mike Wang. But I do love leucos, especially in the fall. They don't look so bad in the spring either though!

That S. leucophylla HCW on the front right side of the photo is really tall. I haven't measured, but I'm pretty sure the pitchers are over 2 feet tall now.

Wow, nice job. The HCW I bought from FTS a few years ago is still looking a bit rough. I replanted it today into a large pot and hope it takes off this summer. I had a hard time finding anyone else who was selling one.

We do have a few out there that could go to new homes, but I don't think Leah has put them in stock yet. Next year I'm going to divide those in the big pots and they'll be available. We could work out a trade then, maybe?

Very, very easy. I just keep mine sitting in water in a sunny spot and ignore them otherwise. Though I do fertilize them once or twice in the spring...

Japanese maple to the bottom right? Bloodgood maybe?

Yep, I should. If not, is the one you use on this forum your preferred email?

Yeah, some sort of Japanese maple. I don't know the type, but Bloodgood is probably correct. We have a very prolific mature tree in the front yard and I dug up one of the seedlings a couple of years ago and put it in a pot. It's growing like crazy this year.

Oh man sweet, grow about 1' a year or so. Prune it and keep it like bush for a bonsai! I've got a few growing on the porch as well.

Yeah, but first let it grow in the open ground, otherwise it won't thicken a lot and it won't look like an old tree. Or you have to go for mame, but even than it has to thicken a couple of centimeters. And while you have it in the open ground, let it grow a sacrificing branch at the top, cut it back, do it over and over again and you will get a thicker trunk in less time and achieve taper.
Nice sarr's do you have Matt!
