I think you might want to check the label on that Sarracenia, though - it's definitely not "Tarnok", the blooms of which are heavily doubled and very distinctive (I think the botanical term is "monstrose". I can't tell from the developing pitchers exactly which species or hybrid it might actually be. I grow most of the available varieties outside here in VA, and they're loaded with buds right now. <em>Jeff, Thank you for the correction! We bought it from Logee's and the original label has gone missing... It's also in a dish with at least one other so maybe at some point we did have 'Tarnok'. I'll change the label and do some research. I'll be checking out your blog too - hope you post pics of your grove of pitchers! -kris</em> <em>ps I think I found it! I'm pretty sure it's 'Judith Hindle'. Thanks again for the heads-up.</em> Great pictures, and I really enjoy the blog.

Jeff, Thank you for the correction! We bought it from Logee’s and the original label has gone missing… It’s also in a dish with at least one other so maybe at some point we did have ‘Tarnok’. I’ll change the label and do some research. I’ll be checking out your blog too – hope you post pics of your grove of pitchers! -kris ps I think I found it! I’m pretty sure it’s ‘Judith Hindle’. Thanks again for the heads-up.
