Hi Dennis I got both the Sarracenia and Dionaea seeds from the SX. I planted them and refrigerated for 3 months. Both germinated last month: 2 fly traps and 3 pitcher plants. How about some seed from the species?? Aloha!

I've had them now for just over 2 years, since constructing the bog bed in Feb. 2010. Sarracenia flava var. rugellii was the first to bloom, starting in late April. Sarracenia leucophylla is just now sending up bloom stalks. Oh, and the pitchers are also finally opening too. (I hope they don't catch their pollinators!) I'm curious if anyone who obtained my Sarracenia seeds from the BX last year has had any germination yet? I haven't looked carefully, but I didn't notice any Dionaea or Drosera when I casually inspected the bed over the weekend. It's possible they've died out (or are just being overcrowded).
