Wassup y’all! With all of the flowers poppin’ off in the greenhouse, there’s quite a bit of flower radness going on. I wanted to share a couple of these that just bloomed recently. This is the first year these babies have flowered – and both of the flowers below are sibling plants and come from the same pod. The variation is quite interesting, as well as the pretty unique variegation in the latter flower. This is what makes breeding so interesting – you never really know what you’ll get.
The cross I did back in 2008 was Sarracenia “Red Blush” x (‘Leah Wilkerson’ x oreophila). The pollen parent was a plant that fellow Sarraceniaphile Brooks Garcia created. One of the siblings of these plants can be found in a previous post here.
Check out the radness!
