Recently I’ve been able to see some very dark colors on my S. oreophila which I’ve never seen on any other type of clones. For those that don’t know S. oreophila is a rare green Sarracenia that has light purple veins inside its pitcher. Some clones (called sand mountain clones) have very dark veins inside the [...]

Then, Ill transplant them into larger seedling quadrants where they will live the next year until I transplant them [...]
