Photos from Random Botanical Gardens

A floating Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok'
In my trove of old, scanned photos, I found three that I can't place, but thought I'd share anyhow. First up is a floating Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok'. Probably not the best way to maintain this plant long term, and not quite accurate for how they grow in the wild, but certainly an interesting display.

Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight'
Next up is the ever popular Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight.' It's a bright and showy plant that grows very easily, so I can see why it is so popular with people picking up their first pitcher plant. I do like the bright pink veins running throughout the plant.

Sarracenia leucophylla?
Lastly, I have this photo of, I believe, Sarracenia leucophylla - or some hybrid with a strong leuco influence. I think this display is a bit odd with the mirror and ferns, but I imagine that it gives the tropical illusion to the picture that most people have when they think of carnivorous plants.

And, barring any sudden finds, that's really all the pictures I have from back in the day. From here on out, it'll be photos of new places!
