Gg

That's ok Gg...I love to see them. Great plants.

Well done on getting a seedling.,..

Hi Dotty ,

Not my seedling I was given some when I bought some plants to grow on

Gg

I never thought to photograph the flowers from below, easily done if in pots... I must have a try at that, although mine are no way near as advanced as yours, having been outside since March. Actually it could be mistaken for a Sunflower.

Pretty is this a North American one

I havnt a clue where its from ... sorry

Gg

When I looked this up for you with colour shape name it said North American Sarracenia?

It did ? have a label saying what the parents are , I will have a nose.... and let you know.

Gg

Yes it did and thank you.

Hi

I meant it did have a label originally, sorry.

North Carolina originally the plants are from , then off to France with a grower called Cedric Azais who has a famous nursery "Cedric Carnivores".
I managed to find the old email with all the details. I was informed part of his seedling program.

This was the 4th year with me growing on before it flowered.

Gg

Thank you for that information. Congratulation to you getting it to flower after 4 years .

and thanks for your patience

Gg

4 years of waiting for a flower it s you that has the patience. ?
