Found this one plant on my recent trimming project…. Back in September 2010 I wrote about a cross I did with Sarracenia “Starry Night” and Sarracenia ‘Hummers Hammerhead’ here. (Check that link out to see some of the sibling crosses…) One of the plants turned out with a clear S. Hummers Hammerhead influence… Just an example of the variation that comes when growing from seed.

Another one of the crosses I did a couple years ago, finally putting up some defining pitchers. Sarracenia “Starry Night” (link is a photo to the parent plant) is a very nicely colored Sarracenia excellens (leucophylla/minor hybrid), and Sarracenia ‘Hummer’s Hammerhead, looks like it has… well… a hammer head! 🙂
These are freshly opened pitchers, as the season progresses I hope that more color shows. Two different seedling pitchers photographed below. The latter is starting to show some pinkish hues. Hmmm… what to call it? A “Starry Hammerhead?” LOL 😉
