I thought I would post some pics of my bogs this spring. Most everything is in bloom now and pitchers are starting to opening. I didn't divide many plants this year as I wanted the bogs to look more full. I will post more pics once all of the pitchers are open. Pings and D. Filliformis with Leuco pitchers coming up Pings and D. Rotundifolia in sphagnum U. Subulata S. Red Blush Big S. Leah Wilkerson pitchers almost ready to open

That looks like a great set up you have there. The S. Red Blush looks good. Do you know what the parentage is? I would think flava 'Red Tube'.

hi Bucky.....thx for the inspirational pics of CPs in springtime...do you keep your sundews in a separate section or together with the sarracenias ? I seem to see small sundews sprouting up from all over.

Thank you very much!!
strath76 - I think that the parentage is unknown but I would definitely agree with you that it has Flava Rubricorpora in it. It is one of my favorites and will color up to all red as the pitcher ages. And Tarence - Yes I do have Drosera as well as the Utricularia and Pings mixed in with all of the Sarracenia. You wouldn't believe how many sundews I have coming up from seed!!!! I have Rotundifolia, Filliformis ssp. Filliformis, Filliformis ssp.Tracyi and Intermedia coming up everywhere! There is definitely not a shortage of sundews. But I don't mind, I really like it. I am thinking about adding 2 more bogs either this year or next, but it is a lot of work. I will post more pics once the pitchers open. Thanks again for the kind words everyone.

Here are some updated pics of the bogs and a few individual plants. I will post a few more pics in two or three weeks as things change pretty rapidly! Hope you like'em. The Bogs Bogs Bogs S. Copper Vase - Romanowski Hybrid, I just LOVE this plant! S. Excellens (Leuco Red x Minor Okee Giant) I got this one as Flava Ornata but I think it has something else in it, but I don't care it's a stunner! Group of S. Leah Wilkerson S. Leah Wilkerson, heads and shoulders above the rest at about 32" tall Close up of Leah Wilkerson S. Bud Wilkerson Another view of S. Bud Wilkerson S. Wilkerson's Red O.P.
