I got yet another extremely long one, way longer by far than the others. I made a post about it because it’s reaching WTF levels
I’m still getting long ones too, and the last of the short ones are pretty much dead. I can’t quite understand the point of the long ones-- the base seems too delicate to hold them up on even a mildly windy day. I came home to one of them looking in bad shape bc it’d spent the day flopped over the side of the pot. Maybe they’re supposed to be growing taller than other grasses that are usually around them in nature, and those same grasses act as a but of a support so they don’t get too floppy or something?
I’ll try to remember to take a picture this weekend-- I’ve been really busy at work this week
I’d love to see a picture, if you remember it!
I’m happy to learn that I’m not alone in the Sarracenia confusion camp
The short ones have already shriveled and all the new ones appear to be the long ones
Damn, those lids are huge. Mine are relatively small, compared with the length of the “body”
I think they’re probably different species-- yours look like they fold over the opening a bit more, and the head shape looks a little different too
So cool
