A new batch of S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x ‘Adrian Slack’ are throwing out some promising pitchers. S. “Legacy” is made up of the same cross. I received these seeds from Brooks Garcia a couple of years ago and am really excited to see how they’ll evolve over the next few years. There looks to be some interesting variations already.

The one above reminds me a bit of S. “Legacy” as it was growing up. The pitchers are still young and the plant will undergo some maturing through the years. It will be fun to keep track of their growth!

A beautiful cross created by Dr. Travis H. Wyman in 2008. The plant shows strong S. oreophila form influence and displays the brilliant color and pattern derived from S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’.

Sarracenia “Legacy“
A select clone of S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x ‘Adrian Slack’

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.
