Angles

Sarracenia 'Reptilian Rose' x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) - Clone 15Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) – clone 15

I was going through some photos from earlier this year and found this angular beast. The photo was taken back  on 27 April. Kinda late, I know. Had to share though…  This peculiar plant has got some crazy angles going on! The cross was done by Dr. Travis Wyman and I started germinating the seed I got from him back in 2008. Phil Faulisi’s creation – S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ has a clear influence on this plant. The spring pitchers on this plant so far are typically the largest and exhibit some of the craziest angles. Pitchers later in the season are a little shorter, but still showcase a little bit of the angular peristome. Sweet.

Update: Beauty from Complexity

Cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman 

Earlier this month, I wrote about this intriguing and complex creature that was a result of Dr. Travis H. Wymans breeding handiwork. Dr. Wyman did this cross back on 2008.  Phil Faulisi did the pollen parent cross of S. (leucophylla “red” x minor var. okefenokeensis) x ‘Royal Ruby’. As a note for clarity, the leucophylla “red” that was used here is *not* S. ‘Dana’s Delight’ or S. ‘Diana’s Delight’ as some may have noted. It is a red form leucophylla that Phil created and has used in his own lines of Sarracenia breeding. I can’t help but to share another photo… I’m utterly mesmerized by this beauty. Man, that nectar roll is hawt.
