The morning sun lit up the saracennia yesterday. The greenish-yellow pitchers seemed to glow from within.
This pitcher plant is growing in an acidic mix of peat and sand, covered in pine needle mulch, in a plastic liner cast inside of a hypertufa planter. The liner helps keep the alkalinity of the concrete away from the planting medium. I drilled a hole in the liner midway up the side in order to hold a couple inches of water at the bottom.
The things we do for love...
From your visit to the pine barrens! lookin' good.
