That's a beautiful pitcher and lid there Steve. Even the unopened pitchers are a spectacle to see.  Am tempted to add one to my collection. dvg |

   Minors are less cold tolerant than many other Sarracenia species and consequently need mollycoddling over winter. I got mine outside from the greenhouse shelter in March when the weather was very clement. However April came in with frosts nearly ever night, which killed all but 2 of the plants in this bucket, and killed all new growth. i thought they were gonners. These are Okeefenokee giants with red fenestration, and they have just this week opened so the red fenestration hasn't matured yet, but i am happy to see them . I have some seed grown Reading University plants somewhere. I must have a look for them. |

Wash, clean up and repot number 60 for the morning, my hands are freezing as the water straight from the outdoor barrels.

This particular specimen is a ‘Hugh Jampton’ x Goldie, now one of twenty three plants, but seems to have missed out on the best qualities of either parent!  As if that hat isn’t bad enough, I’m being constantly stalked by a wild animal, sorry about the focus, that phone cameras for you.  Cheers Steve |

Cheers Steve Your English Robins are indeed different from our American Robins. Our robin red-breast, the American Robin ( Turdus migratorius) is actually a thrush.  They are used to being around people, and are a common sight, foraging for food on yard lawns.  dvg |

Things are finally begining to show their mid summer promise This is a flava cuprea x flava ornata starting to colour up  P and ''Goldie'' living up to its name  This is a S. X ''Manta Ray'' and whilst it isnt anthocyanin free it certainly does a reasonable impression  The first of the early season leucophylla are finally making an appearance
 And the first of the reds is coluring up  Cheers Steve |

 He ain’t no Herc but it caught my eye. There is no label so he must remain nameless. Cheers Steve |

Well whist the summer stalwarts are looking bedraggled, the late warm weather has given the leucophylla and their hybrids a last flurry of pitcher production and I must say whilst they don’t do a lot the rest of the year they are very ‘blousy’ for about a month, till the wind and frosts damage them.
not here it isn't
