I took some cuttings in the fall to sell when things warm back up. This ventricosa red is blooming before its 1st pitcher.

Cuttings are as mature as the plant you take it from, so you might get a flower from a relatively small plant.

I don't know if that's normal or not for the time of year. But, we've got fig trees leafing out big time, buds on other fruiting trees, birds building nests....and it's not March, yet.
