Pretty As A Pitcher


Day 270: I took a trip to Watson's Nursery again today, and decided that since one Pitcher Plant seems to be surviving my clumsy gardening skills, I could risk adding another. After all, a single plant looks rather lonely even if it does have multiple heads. I knew that selecting only one from several different varieties wasn't going to be easy. It took several false starts and re-comparisons before I finally settled on this deep red mottled specimen. It appears to have a more open pitcher than my other plant, but it has the same scalloped edge. On the horticulturist's recommendation, I have placed both in the same pot. If all goes well, I may add a third variety.
