I'm curious about the Leuco x oreo: Does it retain the habit of putting out spring and fall pitchers like leucophylla or does it only put out one season of pitchers which die back by late summer like oreophila? Or are their habits totally different from either parent?

I can't answer your question yet. I just got that particular plant this spring but will try to post something about it later in the year. I would guess that all plants or crosses are a little different as far as vigor goes.

Mine tends to grow pitchers throughout the year, with the best ones in mid summer.

Thanks pinglover! That is a great plant that I have had for a while. I tried to see how many growth points is actually on that one and I got somewhere around 18-20. I can't divide it though, I just love the way it looks as it is!!

Yes, I'd love to see a photo of your entire bog myself. When you have a spare moment, it would be great if you could share a photo.

Yes, time does slip away from us all at this time of year. When ever you have a spare moment is fine.

I finally got the time to take some pics of my bogs, it took a little while!! OK, I have 5 bogs. There are over 300 clones of Sarracenia, 70 or so clones of VFTs, and some Pings and Drosera mixed in. The 4 bogs on the outside are 4' x 12' x 10" deep and 16" deep in a couple of areas. The bog in the middle is 3' x 12' x 10" and about 12" deep in one area. They still aren't quite finished. My wife wants to put something like stones around them to make them "Pretty", but it doesn't bother me. If anyone has an idea on what to put around them that isn't too expensive, I would love some ideas. Here are the pics! All of the Bogs  Front View of Bogs  Left 2 Bogs  Middle Bog... As you can see, there is still room in this bog if anyone would like to make a donation!!! Or a trade would be good!  Right 2 Bogs  This part I call the "Wilkerson Bog". This is a bunch of plants that I got from Brooks that came from the Wilkerson Bog!!  S. Purpurea Red/Black  Something cool is I have Darlingtonia growing in one of the bogs that receives shade in the middle of the day. One of them sent off a runner, I think they are happy!  My favorite Catesbaei, sorry for the dirt on the pitchers. We had some pretty good rain and it splattered some peat on them.  |
