Thanks for that. I was wondering about that so I am glad you set me straight. All fixed now.

Then I bag or dome them.
Depending on temperature, time of year, and other random conditions, you should see buds in one to two months.

Is inside an indoor greenhouse sufficient or should I still bag them?

I do the same in my indoor greenhouse. My grow tents tend to be a bit warmer than my greenhouse since I am germinating a lot of seeds and the higher temps seem to help.
On another note does the pic of my Regia roots look better now? I bagged them up and put in greenhouse out of direct light.

My newest addition. Sellers pic. I will update once I have them potted up. I get the free hitch hiker again!

S. Purpurea Venosa "Carteret Co, NC" Dark Red
D.Filiformis

My newest specimen. S. Catesbaei. I have kind of taken a fancy to rubra's, rosea's, catesbaei and purp's.
EDIT: Pic of how it was and how I received and potted, ready for dormancy.

Late additions. Back in early Sept. I purchased some plants from ChefDean. I was in the middle of getting my greenhouse installed and totally spaced getting photos, labels, etc. for these plants. If I remember I will try to update with some pics come spring time when I start pulling things out of my greenhouse.
VFT's
Purple Ambush
Towering Giant
Sarrs
S. Hummer Hammerhead
S. Red Apache
S. (rubra x oreophila) x purpurea ssp. venosa Burkii

1. S. Drummonds giant x rubricorpora
2. S. Purpurea OP
3. S. Purpurea venosa
4. S. Catsebei

Thank you to all that voted for my pic in the November, 2024 Photo Contest. This is what I chose and it will make a wonderful addition to my growing Sarrs collection.
I would also like to thank Matt and Leigh for sponsoring the contest and providing such great prizes. Pics are from FTS until I receive and get it potted up. I am almost inclined to stick in my grow tent until summer.

Received today, 12/16/2024. Awesome plant!! Actually, the first pick is an illusion. Matt graciously sent a pitcher so I will see what it will look like come summer of 2025.It is going straight outside to the greenhouse for the winter. Thank you again Matt and Leigh.
