Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava v. rubricorpora x leucophylla) – May 2012
Cross done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman. I started to germinate seed back in 2008 and have had a few interesting variations on the jagged lipped theme as imparted by the S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ parentage. S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ most definitely is one of my favorite Sarracenia out there – created by the legend, Phil Faulisi. I decided to shoot this in black and white because I really wanted to focus more on the structure of that jagged nectar roll. So far this year it’s been rather colorless anyway because of the lighting situation. Below, back in June 2011, this is what this plant looked like — a deep and intense red flavor. Even without the color, I’m truly in love with that jagged lip.
