New donation, new species

I'd like to thank MikeB for his recent donation.
He has donated 17 packs of S. flava var rubricorpora and 46 (you read that correctly) packs of S. rosea. Yes, that's a 4 followed by a 6, just shy of four dozen. He had some plants get bizzee! Plus, and I don't think he realizes how much I appreciate it, he already portioned them out into individual packs. Very much appreciated.
I'd normally restrict the rosea seeds to the 48 hour, donors only, but, with 46 packs, I don't think that's necessary. These seeds are all available to all eligible members.
MikeB, thank you, and thank your robust plants, for your continued generosity.

A heads up: there are about 50 seeds per pack. I was originally going to do 25 seeds per pack, but I underestimated just how many seeds I had.

Sarracenia rosea : No location data for these. I had 5 plants bloom this spring, and I cross-pollinated them for improved vigor (the old joke about "branches in your family tree are a good thing" also applies to plants). These seedlings will be all over the map.

Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora : These seeds come from the beast that I bought from Mike Wang about 7 years ago. The pitchers reach almost 3 feet tall, great color, vigorous grower. I've gotten some incredible seedlings from this plant.
