Albert's Greenhouse

Some of the more highland of the nepenthes in the greenhouse have some pretty nifty new pitchers out. I can't figure out if it's the cooler temperatures of the winter, or if it's something about the warming of spring, but the highland tropicals in general seem to like this time of the year.




The sarracenias are growing outdoors and are not yet sending up new pitchers, but it is almost flowering season, and I am happy to report that dividing my S. leucophyllas into six new pots doesn't seem to have hampered their growth, and may in fact have set me up for a flower-filled spring - at least CP-wise. The S. leucophylla growing in full sun has a marvelously deep dark red flower, which contrasts nicely with my bastard yellow-flowered ones. So far I only see the buds, but these are harbingers of things to come.
