Pitchers

Spring is officially here, and while the sun climbing higher in the sky each day, the increased daylight has instigated some new growth. P. exoniensis has grown quite a bit and there are a few buds on it. P. trisecta too has some buds. The real news is that while picking up some soil at Home Depot today, I stumbled upon some pitcher plants. I just had to have them, so I bought a pair and brought them home. They're hanging on the trellis under P. trisecta right now. I'm not certain that they thrive there, partly because I don't know what species they are, but the light is filtered and they're protected. I even fed them a few flies that I zapped with my electric fly swatter. Perhaps they will actually catch some on their own once they're established. This makes two weeks in a row that I've found something special at a garden center. I should really venture out more often just to see what I can find.
