Thanks

Cograts on the sarr flower! They look amazing! BTW, where did you get your n.ventrata? They look huge compared to my tiny nep from B&Q.

Thanks!

I got my Ventrata from Westonbirt Aboretum

Well, today i went to vist another Carnivorous Plant grower in Sheffield, and boy, i had no idea what was in store for me

Tho' he had lost tonnes of plant over winter, i still admired his collection, he had lots of plants, hundres of Sarracenia', lot's of Pinguicula' Some nice FlyTraps, a few Drosera', and a brilliant looking Cephalotus, and some amazing Antho free Sarracenia!
I enjoyed looking around, and talking in his very warm greenhouse, looking at the new growth on his Sarracenia', the pitchers were largem the flowers were massive, and sheer amount was incredible!
Despite his losses over winter, he still gave me some freebies, he gave me a S x Red Ruffles, a P. Grandiflora, which are both flowering!
He also gave me two S. Oreophila seed pods, and a tonne of FlyTrap seeds, it was very kind of him
He's also said i can come back in a month or so to see the difference in size, and colour, which i eagerly await

Here's some pictures of the plants he gave me,

S x Red Ruffles P. Grandiflora (Actually has another flower forming) Please comment!

Very cool Daniel! That was very nice of the grower to give you some plants. They look very healthy and well cared for and I'm sure that they'll continue to

I like the Ping and the Purpurea

Thanks!

the ping looks better than the sarra but the sarra is still really nice!

I agree, but the sarracenia did take a hard battering from the recent hail, one of the pitchers has a few holes in, but it's not too bad, and the flower makes up for the damage

what pitcher has holes?

The left side one, a few small in the lid, and one you can't see becaus eof the angle.

oh ok i see

Nice plants!

Ok, i have new plants, and you can see them!

Cephalotus Follicularis Dioneae "Sawtooth" And my renovated Darlingtonia pot Please comment!

Wow! Very nice! I love the Ceph!
