Saracenia in the greenhouse May 2016

Oh, Wow, Gg that is a cracking display.

Thanks Siris and from the others for the likes

the new ones I bought are just starting to throw up pitchers so more to see , I do have 4 on the shelf just above ...

I will have to look how to get seed etc ...

take some more photos as the seasons moves on ....

I will get a ruler to stand next to them so you can judge the height better.

Fleece on the left hand side , keeps the sun off my Manx Marvel tomatoes....

The yellow one, a flava? looks about 2 ft tall. I am always trying something new. The info I have says they are not easy to self pollinate, but worth a try. As you have such a lot of different ones you have plenty of scope for hybridisation. The pollen apparently collects in the upturned 'unbrella' and there are 5 v shaped female receptacles on the edge of the umbrella. Be an interesting exercise.

A Wow!! from me too what a lovely collection.

Thanks Simbad

just buy two new ones every year from ebay in Feb when the ££ is low ... I find the greenhouse can get a bit boring with just toms and cucumbers etc

Do you think they help to keep down white fly or do they just attract more flying pests in the greenhouse?

Wow,they look amazing GG,such interesting plants.

thanks Loli .... something a bit different than a geranium lol

they are good at getting those Fungus Gnats
