Here’s a really striking cross that was done by Mike Wang. There’s a few beauties that resulted from this crossing such as Mike’s select clone S. “Elaine Wang.” I’ll post a few more photos of the siblings of the below plant once their pitchers are open. This particular one started the season off with a bang! Great work, Mike!

It’s that time of year where many of the pitchers from earlier this season are turning into a wreck. Many of the Sarracenia flava and oreophila pitchers are getting crispy. It’s kind of that in between time for me right now. Some plants are fading, while the S. leucophyllas and their hybrids are starting to put out the fall pitchers. During this time of year, the seed pods start ripening and I start preparing for the next generation. Lots of interesting stuff in the works and I’ll share more on this later. For now, enjoy a few frames of fresh foliage rising above the fading pitchers.

The angular nectar roll of the S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ was tamed by the leucophylla in this plant, however the resulting specimen is still rather quite lovely.

Hey everyone, hope your having a good week so far! Here’s a few more photos of some plants that are awake and are standing out among their (slowly waking) siblings. Enjoy!

Old and New: S. ‘Adrian Slack’ x ‘Judith Hindle’
Cross by Mike Wang
Just a quick update on this baby as I’m slowly moving plants out to the new place. It’s growing up a little bit and just wanted to post an update on it. I did this cross back in 2009 not knowing really what to expect. Back in March, 2011 – the seedling looked like this. The areoles (those light spots like this) from S. minor had a nice little influence on the pitchers. I’m finding those dots quite interesting … totally looking forward to seeing this thing really color up in the future!
