Don, I find this species interesting because while other _Sarracenia_ are
slowing down in the season or dying back, _S.leucophylla_ produces a second
crop of pitchers. This second crop of pitchers consists of larger pitchers
than the spring pitchers---and as you noted the spring pitchers are sometimes
exclusively phyllodia. I wonder how the plants behave in the wild?

OK, I talked with Steve Baker over the weekend regarding the long lost
periodical CPN. The scoop is: Leo Song has decided to relinquish
his pivotal role in the publication process. Those of us who know Leo
know he's a great guy, but also a very busy one who hasn't been able to
find time or volunteers to help him. So now the editors for CPN
consist of Don Schnell and Joe Mazrimas. I don't believe Leo will be
editor, but possibly still business manager. If you write an article or
whatever, send it to Don or Joe for review. Also send them any photographs
or artwork you wish to accompany the article. They will then forward the
material to a new player, Steve Baker. Steve will do the layout for the
magazine. Apparently he is qualified and has the equipment to do this. The
printing will still be done by the same California firm. I don't know who
will do the mundane stuffing and mailing. Steve emphasized that people are
*not* to submit articles to him. He is only doing layout, and is not
interested in making decisions regarding magazine content.
And what of the *ahem* first magazine of 1993? Well it is at the printers
right now, will be back in a week, and should be packaged and at your
door at the end of September. It will be a double issue.
