New Planting

Some of you may recall pictures I posted of the following collection. The Scarlet Belle was so massive that it dwarfed the Sarracenia purpurea. I couldn't take it any longer and re-potted it this weekend with some new plants. Especially like the Sarracenia "Purple Helmet."

This is the new planting:

I was inspired by some of Brooks Garcia's plantings and tried to duplicate the feel with gnarled wood. The sarracenia purpurea in the foreground was a division from earlier this year. It is flanked on the lefe by a Sarracenia alavamesis ssp. wherryii and on the right by a sarracenia alata "Purple Helmet." Lycodium prostrata is snaking around beneath.

Here is "Purple Helmet."

Here is the old planting. The Scarlet Belle is going in a pot alone.

Normally I like to repot in the spring when growth starts but since most of the plants were already potted I proceded.
