Below are some various clones of S. oreophila x ‘Adrian Slack’, a cross I did back in 2009. The flower pod was harvested on 26 July 2009 and if I recall correctly, I was able to actually start these babies under lights in the late fall/winter of 2009. Note the variation in the photos below – some plants showing some incredible color and form. Other clones, eh – not so much. Influences from both parents can be spotted among the youngsters. All of them still are pretty interesting and beautiful in their own way. Watching the plants evolve and grow always gives me a sense of self gratification and at the same time also leaves me hungry for more.

Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x ‘Adrian Slack’ Update

Posted on April 9, 2013 | 6 comments

Sarracenia 'Reptilian Rose' x 'Adrian Slack'
This is just a quick update to follow up on this previous post. The first pitcher of a 2010 cross I did between S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ and S. ‘Adrian Slack’ (parent plants in the photo above) opened up not too long ago. This is only one of the four seedlings that survived from that group. It is still a young plant, but the characteristics of both plants can be seen in this one. The angular lip is there, so is the influence of the color and form from S. ‘Adrian Slack’. I am hoping that the jagged lipped characteristic intensifies as it ages, or shows up even stronger in the other 3 seedlings. The other plants are sending out new pitchers as well and should be opening up pretty soon. So far, I kinda like this one!

Some photos from a cross I did of S. oreophila x ‘Adrian Slack’. As they were growing up I didn’t find them to have much personality. Now that they’re a little more mature, I can see some subtle characteristics from the father plant coming through. They aren’t of blooming age yet, but I hope they’ll bloom next year. The S. oreophila form has had a strong overall influence in the pitcher shapes. I’ll photograph the other clones once the pitchers develop a little further.

Legacy Unfolding

Posted on March 21, 2013 | 12 comments

A rising legacy has begun to unfold. This is the select clone of S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x ‘Adrian Slack’ – a cross that Brooks Garcia created in 2008.

The word “legacy” can refer to a gift, or something of value passed on from one generation to another. For now I am calling this plant Sarracenia “Legacy” and the name is derived from a combination of factors. S. “Legacy” commemorates the individuals for which the parent plants are named after, as well as their work with the furtherance and cultivation of this majestic genus. “Legacy” also pays homage to the influence that the parent plants have, and will continue to have, on Sarracenia cultivation for generations to come. On a more personal note, the name also pays tribute to those who have inspired my botanical endeavors. I’ve learned so much from so many – and I am deeply thankful for the botanical vision that has been passed into my life.

As the season progresses, the hood and upper portion of the pitchers will fade to white. This creates an intense and vibrant contrast with the throat splotch that darkens to a deep red as the pitchers mature. Below are a couple of photos capturing the S. “Legacy” unfolding.
