Every year, without fail, my Sarracenia flava is the first to show a flower bud. 🌱 While the pitchers are still just emerging, that round little bud is already pushing up through the sphagnum — a sure sign that the growing season has truly begun. There's something incredibly exciting about spotting that first bud of the year, knowing what's coming next.

Elk jaar opnieuw is mijn Sarracenia flava de eerste die een bloemknop toont. 🌱 Terwijl de bekers nog maar net beginnen uit te komen, duwt dat kleine ronde knopje al omhoog door het veenmos — een zeker teken dat het groeiseizoen echt begonnen is. Er is iets ontzettend fijns aan het spotten van die eerste knop van het jaar, wetende wat er nog gaat komen.
