Red + Green

Sarracenia leucophylla "red"  x purpurea ssp. purpurea AF
[Sarracenia leucophylla “red” x purpurea ssp. purpurea – AF, Cross created by Jerry Addington.]

This plant was sent to me as a seedling a couple years ago , created by good friend Jerry Addington.  The pollen parent, (S. purpurea ssp. purpurea – AF) is an anthocyanin free (AF) plant.  Even with one of the pollen parents devoid of pigment, the resulting progeny still has outstanding color and will color up even stronger as it gets deeper in the growing season.  And if you’re wondering – yeah, the back of the plant is the side that faces the sun the whole day, but eventually that color will wrap all around.  In conversations with Jerry, he speculates that the AF parentage in crosses (as in … with AF purps) lends itself to adding to a particular “glow” to the plant.  It’s something worth looking into for me – and being that there’s recessive AF genes in the mix, it should make for interesting breeding lines down the road.  RAD!

Go Green!

In today’s world, we hear a lot about being green. Think green. Be green. Green. Anthocyanin Free that is. (Anthocyanin is that pigment that makes things… well, er… not green… ) I’m partial to Sarracenia that are free and lacking in anthocyanin.   So in light of this, I wanted to share with you a few photos of only some my green plants.   These few photos all from this year. Enjoy 🙂

In the foreground – Sarracenia… something! Another one of my own anthocyanin free crosses, a few months old. The cross is secret, for now. Keep checking in and I will update you on the progress and reveal the identity in due time.
