Sarracenia Ladies in Waiting
$39.95
Pitchers face the center of the plant and resemble women dressed in gorgeous red clamshell hoods with white speckles, having a chat. On an adult plant, pitchers will reach 10-12 inches. Its best growth occurs in mid to late summer.
Ladies in Waiting was by Dr. Larry Mellichamp, a former professor of botany at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. The plant was also registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society in 1998, so this hybrid has been around for a while. (Dr. Mellichamp visited our nursery in 2022. He said that we had the largest collection of Ladies in Waiting he had ever seen. Such an honor!)

Love the ladies!
These ladies are doing great. The ants seem to love them. They have had a steady trail strait down their trap the past couple of days. There is now a lot fewer ants in the trail. They are piling up in the pitcher. I love it!
