Sarracenia leucophylla

Looks like a fancy stained glass vase instead of a flower...beautiful

They are my total favourites (or in U.S. speak, favorites) Skippy. I didn't know whether to use the nick Sarraceniac or Cycadpath originally but, although I love cycads as well these are just WOW. And you don't have to wait so long.

Ooooh...., a man after my heart....! I love these unique creatures !

Another fantastic shot! This would happen to be that fancy lighting again...would it? I need to get some professional lighting, what a difference it makes. This one is going to my favs along w Sarracenia rubra :)

This is like the seeds I've just bought, except they called it S. purperea...

Sid. The S. purpurea is a different type of Sarra from the north of N. America right up to the Arctic, this one is a flava from the southern States area. I will post a picture of a S. purpurea as soon as the weather permits (maybe today if I can get one through the snow although it will look a bit haggard) and answer your PM on growing from seed. Actually the S. purpurea is one of the easiest from seed so you have bought the right one for a beginner for seed propagating.

Is S. flava the same as S. leucophylla, John?

Yes Sid. Technically it is S. flava leucophylla and S. flava rubra etc. There are so many hybrids of S. flava that even semi-experts lose track. It boils down sometimes to which field they came out of. Thus you will find when buying them 'named location' is a selling point. You even get some named after gas stations. Lol.
