Hi Susan,
In southeastern North Carolina, the end of April is a good time to see
Sarracenia in bloom. I would guess that south Georgia would be as much as a
month ahead of this schedule. Make sure you know where to look, as well. I
was there in early January of this year and the rangers I spoke to had no
idea where to look for carnivorous plants in the swamp. I was hugely
disappointed. What really got me mad is that within view of the ranger
station there is a drainage ditch with a large population of D. capillaris
on one side. (We went in the west entrance, BTW.) I went back and told one
ranger, but she didn't seem to care.

Happy hunting!

Philip

PS - Re: dormancy, here in Durham, NC my CPs just got blasted with 18 inches
of snow and some arctic cold about a week ago, so any thoughts they had
about an early start were squashed.
