Here's some of the later comers to the bogs, generally those with leucophylla in them start to show this time of year. The first is a NOID hybrid I've had for years and it never ceases to please me with its colours and textures. The next is a typical leucophylla that changes to look like or if not is a var alba through the season, the green disappearing in the next couple of weeks, if it's sunny. Cheers Steve   |

This little chap is the first pitcher of the year for this plant and is a S. X gilpinii x ((X wrigleyana x X excellens) x minor) H27 x (H82 xH62D), seed sourced from an Italian grower in 2010, germinated in 2011. As I look at the veining patterns and the way they change in the sunlight, it never fails to make me smile and after all that's what they are there for. Cheers Steve  |

I’ve been away for a while and have returned last night to the June mixed display of new pitchers and inflorescences in various stages of growth in the bogs, I like the fresh colours and the promise of the colours to come that you can see in some of the pitchers, but most of all I am pleased they made it through the dry period without me tending to them while I was away. Cheers Steve Attachments:

This is a S. X ‘Orange Fire’ x flva var. ornata heavily veined, pleasing now but will probably colour to full red later in the season. |

This I bought on a whim as I enjoyed its name “Mad Green Thing” and it does have an extraordinarily large floppy lid, I’m hoping the pitchers currently 450 mm ish high will get taller. |

Was it named after me?
I have one very similar Steve, huge floppy lid. It just sort of appeared, possibly a seedling from years ago.

This can only be one plant S. X ‘Juthatip Soper’ but it always produces a great show. Attachments:

A S. moorei X exornata grows slowly and doesn’t produce many pithers per year but what it does produce is nice. Attachments:

Juthatip does tend to announce her presence  I like the lid on the S. moorei X exornata. |

I have a number of S. X Catesbael in the bogs, but they tend to get overlooked later in the season as the larger plants tower over them, but they still look nice if you get down to look at them. This is a a S. flava “Green Swamp”X purpurea ssp. venosa var Burkeii Cheers Steve Attachments:

Cheers Steve And here's thefirst pitcher of the year from this plant. It does absolutely nothing till July then it starts and once again it makes me smile 😊 I really must weed out some binata, it’s taking over in some areas. Attachments:

This is a bit of a quirky looking one, but I like it, it’s a seed grown, S. x ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x SL 61 leucophylla, you can definitely see Leah’s influence. Cheers Steve |
