This is one of my own psittacina,photo taken last year (2002)
My first plant of this species.Flowers(not shown) are similar to but smaller than Sarracenia purpurea
I really like pitcher plants and this one is lovely.
Thanks Windsurffer
Heres a pic of the flower.
Mine have been in flower now for about 2 weeks
Great shot! Would you mind uploading the flower-shot to the main entry http://plantsdatabase.com/go/2709/ so people can find it easier.
The flower is just as pretty, how old does the plant have to be before it will flower?
Windsurffer
My plants were 2 years old when they flowered.
However they were re potted just after purchasing the young seedlings so this may have set them back somewhat and maybe they would have flowered in the first year
Ok, thanks for the info.
I just bought a Nepenthes called Gentle this weekend and what surprised me was the price. I looked on the internet to see how much they would cost and for one with this many cups (I guess that what they are called ?) I would have to pay around fourty something dollars, I was so pleased with myself because I didn't pay that much.
