Dude, it’s a Fattie!

…No, not a fattie like that one you go blazin’.  It’s just that this juvenile plant threw out this one robust fat pitcher.  This cross was created by my friend, Wes Buckner. It’s a Sarracenia (leucophylla x oreophila) x purpurea ssp. venosa, Columbus  County, NC.  The purpurea parent in this one, I am told, is a nice large purp that gets pretty big. Well, I can see some of that fatness shine through here.

The other younger pitchers were similar but did not have the same wide bulbous type pitcher. Let’s see what happens with the other up and coming pitchers!
