Veins in plants. They make such pretty patterns when they contrast. First is purpurea grown from seed and after years of slow & steady growth, putting out something close to full sized leaves.
The other is a leaf on the way out, also grown from seed, dropped by last year’s plants.

Lots of nice new growth on the sarracenias just now. In the first picture you can see the downward pointing hairs that encourage the insect to walk down into the pit fall trap.

The Murder Moss is looking a bit rough but it’ll get a cleanup soon.


A chunk of moss living in a bog pot. Several still small sundews (drosera) grow on the edges, as well as some tiny pitcher plant seedlings (sarracenia). The moss has some bits of dried stuff above it as well as the requisite cat hair.

The outdoor Sarracenia plants are growing new pitchers and looking fresh again.
They are growing in live sphagnum. @plants

Great news! “ Peat-free success for carnivorous plants adds weight to peat ban, says RHS”

I’ve been growing our carnivorous plants in sphagnum and so now I also grow sphagnum…
Moss for the win. Again.

A few highlights from the Carnivorous Garden today…

FWIW, the diversification of Sarracenia (North American pitcher plants) into the present species ensemble occurred in the early Pleistocene, about 1-2 Million yrs ago.

One of the edelweiss flowers has decided to join the sarracenia gang. Everybody is *stretching*.

another kind of modified leaves, while i wait for this build… these are American pitcher plants, sarricenia, and they have a more passive technique for getting snacks— they just wait till they fall in!

Sitting next to the blooming orchid is a what I think of as a big pot: an inner pot with multiple sarracenia plants sitting in a water bath. My eye was drawn to something sparkling so I took a closer picture. The edge of the lid of this pitcher looks like it has golden sparkles but it instead there are drops of something sticky (evidence: cat hair). I wonder why, outside of the trap. Lure?

Thought I was taking a picture of one little yellow flower among the pitchers, but then I realized it was not alone. One of the sarracenia plants has a bud starting!

If anything, the flowers resemble orchids. They appear to have similar petal structures.

So.

Is this a Mystery? Or do I have rouge flowers of some other type?
