I have 18 seedlings of Sarracenia minor from Francis Marion National Forest in South Carolina up for grabs. These were donated to the CCPS by Larry Mellichamp himself! This is the first time plants from this location will be entering cultivation! Here's the catch. You have to guess how many seedlings are in this plug. You must have an adequate grow space for these. To become a paid member of the CCPS visit our website, www.carolinacpsociety.org/?page_id=19S. minor Francis Marion, SC by Wire Man, on Flickr Whoever gets the closest without going over wins! Post your guess to participate. Contest closes September 7th.

It took 3 hours, but I counted every single one of them.

Hmm... let's say 1037.
I saw a link to this awesome give away via Terra Forums and thought I would share my experience and enter for a chance to win.
I was fortunate enough to see S. minor in the Francis Marion Forest near Awendaw, SC, not too long ago. What an awesome and diverse forest: much more interesting than our national forest here in Missouri, in my opinion (then again, we don't have CPs in our Mark Twain Forest). Anyway, the S. minor and S. flava I managed to find were impressive. Even though I probably didn't see the largest stands of either, all the populations exhibited lots of genetic diversity. Pretty pitchers on all, too.
Thanks for this opportunity!
