Hello 2014

Posted on January 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

Hope everyone’s been having a good 2014 so far! Two weeks in there hasn’t been much plant action on this end – other than the massive cleaning and re-organizing efforts that are currently underway in The Asylum. Here’s a few snapshots of how my 2014 is going so far.

Sarracenia “Legacy”… in Bloom?!

Posted on October 15, 2013 | 8 comments

Yes, blooms on Sarracenia can happen at times during the fall for reasons that are unknown to me. Often times the flowers during this time of season are on a shorter stalk . One plant that recently sent up a bloom was Sarracenia “Legacy”, a cross done by Brooks Garcia between S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’  and S. ‘Adrian Slack’. I’m not so sure it will bloom in the spring now that it’s bloomed now. Crud. Oh well, fingers crossed! In any event, I wanted to share this photo of the flower now that S. “Legacy” has bloomed… even if it’s kinda off season for this sorta thing.

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.
