Hi Wim and list
I have noticed that within the Sarracenia genus there is a long list of =
different forms within the same species. Phil Wilsons long list of seeds =
from different Sarracenia forms that was posted to this list recently, =
illustrates that point. Is the Sarracenia genus special in this way?
Is S. purpurea purpurea stolonifera just a form of S. purpurea purpurea? =
Are there populations of S. purpurea purpurea stolonifera in the wild?
Perhaps these are stupid questions, but I would like to get wiser then.
Good growing
