After the cold, wet months of January and February, my Sarracenia are finally in springtime mode. My rosea "overachiever" plant was the first to open up:

Not only does it divide like crazy, but it blooms a lot, too. (The unopened buds in the picture are from some of my purpurea plants.)
4 of my new oreophila plants are blooming:

The style on these flowers cinches up so tightly that the petals stick out at a 45-degree angle instead of hanging straight down.
And my flava's are getting in the game:

This is my big rubricorpora, another "overachiever" plant: 3 divisions, 7 large crowns, 14 flower buds. @ChefDean: These are the plants that produced the boatload of seeds last fall that I sent to the seed bank.
My other flava's are in the game, too:

Only 1 has opened so far; I couldn't miss the smell this morning when I checked on my plants (it's going to be "interesting" when 10-20 flowers are open at the same time...). A huge bumblebee stopped by and spent a good 5 minutes inside the flower.
