How hard would it be to set up a section under Seed Bank for users to post about the seeds they have received from the Seedbank? I myself enjoy posting about seeds I receive and how well or not so well they did/are doing. I would like to start here. This is one of my picks from last August. Received mid August and cold strat for 8 weeks. Seeds sown mid Oct. Of all the seeds I have received in the past 18 months, I believe these are the best yet as I have 3 other containers of them. All are doing great. I will reply to this thread for now as I get each container QR coded. S. flava var Cuprea "Chocolate Top" x flava var Maxima (Carteret Co., NC)

Sept. 2023 Seed request: S. rosea "Chipola" x self. Sown 12/15/23.

Oct. 2023 Seed Request: S. oreophila (MBRS) x minor var Okefenokeensis (Charlton Co., GA). Sown 12/15/23.

Sept. 2023 Seed request: S. leuco "Burgundy" x minor "Giant Pink" OP - bulk. Sown12/15/23

The plant in the upper-right corner (tall pitchers, folded hoods) has more than just rosea in the mix. I would not be surprised if it was crossed (unintentionally) with rubra.

Stunning plants! Growing plants from seeds is a very rewarding experience. I love to grow plants this way.

Thanks for pointing that out. That is how the seeds from seed bank were marked. I will investigate further once they all get their own pots.

I'm pretty sure the rosea Chipola were my seeds. They were selfed and bagged. Maybe there was something hiding in its genetic past and it isn't true rosea.

Well, Whatever it is, it sure is starting out as a nice looking plant.

I also had some drosera and VFT seeds I traded for that are doing great. I will post pics after they get ID'd.

That’s another thing to love about your idea Andy. I have a place to see what the seed bank seeds look like at least in the beginning.

I wish some of the crosses came with photos anywhere on the internet. That Chipola one is really beautiful. Seriously amazing job you’re doing there.
