Pitcher plant. Cool.
Did you collect the seed yourself?

I got them off of a vendor on a site which shall not be named.

I wish I was the one who collected them. I'd be making history if that were the case as there is no known population of them in my area. There are less than like 1500 individuals left of this species in the wild. Those are distributed amongst about 32 known populations.

I figured I'd grow it out, see if I could get a tissue sample sent off to see how much of the genes in this baby are actually oreophila, and perhaps attempt to restore a local population since they can handle Winters here (supposedly my father thinks he recalls seeing a pitcher plant similar to oreophila when he was a kid, but who knows how accurate that memory actually is).

Supposedly, there was an alleged population in Chattooga County, which is only two counties west and then one south from Whitfield.

Then there's this guy. He photographed some endangered Trilium pusillum from my county, so it's possible that those oreophila are around here as well. One can dream anyways. :shrug:

Sweet, I would like to do something similar with S. purpurea in my area. I've seen it in a few locations in the wild but the closest one I know of is about 250 km away. Nowhere near as rare in general but there are none in the wild areas here as far as I can tell.

If you ever find any while fruiting, you know on whom you can dump some seeds on the Q.T. :cool: :wink:

Not really. I can get seeds if I'm really that determined (ICPS anybody?). Those wild plants probably need all the viable seeds they can produce.

It's pretty cool to know that such rare plants are around. Also, you never know - maybe an unknown population is closer to you than you may think unless there aren't any acidic lowlands nearby.

I was also wondering about the possibility of applying something like 6-BAP to wild plants to multiply them vegetatively in habitat, then replanting the clonal offsets elsewhere after they root and reach a certain size. Maybe it's a bad idea though.

Now that I think of it, Sarracenia always cross pollinates due to its flower structure. Since clonal populations would flower at the same time, it would seem to me to be a potential negative effect on the genetic diversity of the species since clones could start to cross with each other. More studying ought be done.
