Basically I'm with you Steve on this. One of the things I worry about is that
a lot of people grow plants from seed obtained from mixed collections or
through clubs seed banks and believe that the offspring are true species when
in a lot of cases the flowers have been visited by bees who have been all
around the greenhouse picking up pollen from every flower that happens to be
open.
I would like to see a collection of guaranteed species of Sarracenia backed
up by DNA checking to be used as both a reference and a source of true
species for collectors.

Would it be a good idea if folks asking for advice, etc. indicated at least
the country and state where they live. What's right for the UK may be
disastrous in Australia
