Until this summer, I have not grown CPs; I started off by ordering
several Sarracenias from a reputable dealer and have had fairly good
luck. One problem, though, is bothering me - the new pitchers have very
small hoods and are in general underdeveloped. Is this a response to
being shipped and transplanted?

One of the Sarracenias was in bloom when I got it. Two months later,
the bloom, minus the petals, is still on the plant but I see no swelling
of the ovaries. Is this normal?
