Day 270: The excitement is building! Sarracenia has thrown her veils aside, exposing the "orange" structure which has remained tantalizingly hidden for the last ten days or more. Close observation of the gaps along the circumference inclines me to think the best is yet to come. I feel like I'm watching a science-fiction film in slow motion.
The "orange" bears fine hairs lightly distributed, longer and more sparse than peach-fuzz, but reminiscent of that downy, velvety texture. The exterior petals have bleached a bit in the last two days, fading from the tips inward. What's next, Sarracenia? What surprises do you hold in that mysterious "orange?"
