Sarracenia flowers


Question
Hey Jeff,

I have a question regarding Sarracenia flowers. How long are the stigmas on a Sarracenia flower receptive to pollen? What is the telltale sign that pollination was a success?

Thank you,

Derick

Answer
The stigma is receptive for several days.  The exact number is unknown, but generally no more than a week.  So it's good to continue pollinating it for at least 3 days in a row.  You won't know if you're successful until a month or two later when you see the pod swelling up.  

Good growing!
