How to tell Sarracenia flava apart from Sarracenia oreophila

Sarracenia flava and oreophila look very similar and both make early spring pitchers but there are some easy ways to tell these two species apart. Damon will show you how! For more information or to order plants checkout www.californiacarnivores.com

Short video stacked with info. You guys/gals grow beautiful plants. I’m here for any and all videos you want to talk carnivorous plants. From across the country thank you!

[@cjtuba1]

Great basic videos, please keep them coming as folks like me and others just don't have this sort of knowledge, a quick video covers it nicely. Many thanks, Chris, Staffordshire, UK.

How big is the flava yellow flower pot?

[@California_Carnivores]

It’s a few feet across

[@therisinggarden5928]

Do you regularly divide the large pots of sarracenia shown in the video? And do those pots need to have drainage?

[@California_Carnivores]

These huge pots have not been divided for years and years. We have drainage holes along the surface of the soil so that the rain drains out.

If the oreophila is critically endangered in the wild, is it hard to get a hold of it in cultivation?

[@California_Carnivores]

Yes, it can be. Often it has to be grown from seed. We have a permit issued from FWS that allows us to sell oreophila over state lines but not all plant growers have that and it can make it difficult to legally source!

@@California_Carnivores how can I get on that list when/if available plant or seeds?

@@melissaaudler8975 Damon and I will be looking at what we have next week. We might be able to add a couple but if not, it won’t be until next year. We don’t have a waitlist at the moment but I’ll post here if we do add them next week 😄
