If they are from YG park.

sarra1 & 2 =
sarra3 & 4 = S. purpurea var purpurea
sarra5 = S. flava
sarra6 & 7 = S. Mitchelliana
sarra8 & 9 = S. farhamii

Re: Sarra ID please
 

Sarra 1 & 2 - S purpurea hybrid
Sarra 3 & 4 - S purpurea venosa
Sarra 5- looks like flava but can you provide a side profile shot. Flava has a constriction where the hood comes from like it has been pinched.
Sarra 6 & 7 - hybrid
Sarra 8 & 9 - hybrid with leucophylla as one of the parents.

Hope this helps and I am happy to be corrected if anyone has another opinion

Re: Sarra ID please
 

thanks casey,

since theres more replies coming, will wait and see the other comments too.

any advice on the mitchelliana deformed pitcher and missing lid?

Re: Sarra ID please
 

I think it's S.alata.

Re: Sarra ID please
 

I have no comments on the ID but I think your sarras need more light.. Your growing area seems too shady, if all the sun they are getting is from the window.. Sarras need very bright light and can stand direct sun (provided the moss doesn't dry out)..

Re: Sarra ID please
 

thanks paphioboy,

noted on the advice. fyi, the pots are not getting direct sunlight only morning sunlight therefore i am regularly changing the 'display pots' with those from my house. do you think artifial light (not sunlight) is beneficial?

Re: Sarra ID please
 

I don't think sarracenias, or any CP for that matter will do well if brought in for display like ornamental foliage plants because they need a lot of sun to grow and thrive well. you will need very bright artificial lighting for growing indoors successfully. If you place your sarras in bright sun, you'll find that they produce larger pitchers with more glorious colour..

Re: Sarra ID please
 

ok, noted on your precious advice. :1thumbup:
