Salvia microphylla and relatives

Family: Lamiaceae

Genus: Salvia

Species: S. microphyila

Holder: Graham Last

Salvia microphylla is an evergreen shrub found in the wild in south eastern Arizona and the mountains of east, west, and southern Mexico. Microphylla in Greek means small leaved. It blooms heavily in the late spring and autumn although it can flower throughout the year in mild conditions. The National Collection is set in a plantsman's garden just 3 miles from the North Norfolk coast on very free draining soil which is ideal for growing Salvia with over 200 varieties within the Collection dispersed throughout the garden

SaRRACENIA PURPUREA & ROSEA

Family: Sarraceniaceae

Genus: Sarracenia

Holder: Paul Katz

Sarracenia purpurea's natural distribution ranges from Canada and across the US. The northern subspecies is incredibly hardy and populations can now be found growing wild across Europe and the UK. They come in many colours, shapes, forms, including striped, veinless and anthocyanin free. The collection consists of over 200 plants kept in and around a 6 x 8 foot greenhouse. There are 2 subspecies, 2 varieties and a former subspecies (var. Burkii) which was granted single species status in 1999 and re-named sarracenia rosea because of its unique pastel coloured flowers. There are also several horticultural crosses, plus a few hybrids and cultivars. My passion lies with location plants as many are exceptionally rare. It is estimated over 95% of their natural habitats have been destroyed across the United States. Each county has its own population of ssp venosa, which is genetically different from the next. My aim is to photograph and collate any information on my ‘Purple Pitcher Plants’ in cultivation for future reference
