dj_almightydolla on eBay is Steve Galic. He's the Administrator of Plant Materials for The North American Sarracenia Conservancy, has a massive collection worthy of envy.

Steve occasionally sells divisions from some of his plants, but the bidding is fierce and the final prices are high (good for him, not so great for me...). In the fall, he has lots of fantastic seed mixes for sale.

Yes. I just received my seeds yesterday and have them cold stratifying now. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' Beautiful plant; the camera doesn't do it justice.

Is that by chance from @camden? I just purchased his last 2.

It was an eBay purchase (from Cook's), just 10 bucks plus shipping.

That's what I got mine for from @camden. $30.00 for 2 plants shipped is a pretty good deal, IMO.

I have bought from Cooks also. Pretty good deals from them too.

Pitcher plant
Sarracenia flava var. cuprea - Horry County, South Carolina
(seller's pic of the mother plant; I received a nice rhizome division with 2 growth points)

If yours grow like the plants in the photo you’re gonna have some regular beach umbrella hoods!!! Nice!!!

It'll be interesting to see how much the plant likes being outdoors again: unfiltered sunshine, rain, humidity, wind, heat and cold. Horry County is only 100 miles / 160 kilometers southwest of my location.

Pitcher plants
Sarracenia flava var. cuprea - Steve Thomas, Meadowview Botanical Research Station, Virginia
(Pic of the parent plant; I got a one-crown division)

That is lovely. Most of the time a cuprea is more orange.

It's more of a cherry-top than a copper-top. I'm trying to get 3 or 4 nice cuprea's for breeding stock.
