Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x ‘Adrian Slack’ – Clone #1
This is a cross I did back in 2010 between S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ and S. ‘Adrian Slack’ – you can see how this plant (as well as it’s other siblings) looked like earlier in the year in this post. It’s still not of blooming maturity or size, but I’m really looking forward to watching this one mature. The spring pitchers so far seem to be more stocky in appearance, but these fall pitchers ain’t bad at all…

Sarracenia leucophylla “Wilkerson’s Red Rocket”
Sarracenia leucophylla season is in full swing here, and you’ll be seeing more leucophylla elegance in the upcoming posts! Sarracenia leucophylla “Wilkerson’s Red Rocket” is an outstanding leucophylla that I received from Brooks Gracia. (Thanks Brooks!) This beauty hails from the Bud Wilkerson property – North Walton Co., FL. I’m sad to report that Brooks tells me that the bog is pretty much extinct now due to drought and cattle. I’m thankful that we have people like Brooks that are helping to maintain and preserve these genetics.

Sarracenia “Green Monster” x rosea “Big Mama”
Sarracenia “Green Monster” x rosea “Big Mama” is a cross I did back in 2011, and started to germinate in May of 2012. I’m looking forward to using these in future AF breeding projects as they contain the recessive anthocyanin-free gene… good times!
Sarracenia “Green Monster” x rosea “Big Mama”
You’ll notice in the photo below that there are some young AF seedlings in the mix that look like young S. “Green Monsters.” Well, that’s probably because they are! I can tell because they’re anthocyanin free. Otherwise, they would look like the ones with the purpurea influence — and red coloration is obviously from S. rosea “Big Mama.” Ah, this reminds me that one can use a flower as a pod parent for multiple crosses. I haven’t tried this purposely … at least, not yet. If I purposely threw some more pollen of S. “Green Monster” onto a stigma or two of that very same flower, I would of ended up with even more anthocyanin free S. “Green Monster” F2 seedlings in this batch. Again, it would be easy to tell in the offspring which ones those would be as they would be the anthocyanin free ones. Yeah – I try to be as careful as I can when doing my crosses, however there’s always a chance that a little pollen grain can sneak onto a stigma.

The anthocyanin-free pitchers are S. “Green Monster” F2. So far perhaps 2-3 plants from this batch are S. “Green Monster” F2.
