I was having a close look at my large pitcher plant as some of the newer pitchers were beginning the shrivel up. Normally it is the oldest ones which dry out and turn brown. Then, right in the centre, I spotted something different ....
What appears to be the beginnings of a flower spike. I had been wondering how they reproduced and on searching t'internet I found out they do flower once they reach three to five years old. Now it is a waiting game to find out what the flowers will look like.
Something to look forward to. I hope nothing gets it before it flowers.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Having had a close look at the plant this years pitchers are healthy. The shrivelled ones appear to be coming from a different growth point.
