Well, I just checked my local HD, and sure enough, the CP are back.
This time they had VFT, but also tons of fairly BIG Sarracenia
Purpureas! I bought two of the pitcher plants at $2.99 (Same prices as
last year- woo-hoo)... these sarrs have traps that are 4" high, and each
plant has about 3-4 developed traps! The traps are also extremely red
veined, a good indicator of healthy treatment.
Isn't S. purpurea one of the sarrs that needs it's pitchers filled a
little with rain water from time to time if kept indoors (mine are in my
terrarium)? I know many sarrs use the lid to keep rain water out, but I
seem to remember that purpureas need rainwater to fill the base of the
pitchers.
Cheers,
Paul
