As I was sorting out some seedlings a couple weeks back, I discovered one of the pitcher plants kinda … hangin’ out. Well, that thing on it was hangin’ out.
This is a 2 1/2 year old seed grown clone of S. rubra ssp. wherryi “Chatom Giant” x “Sky watcher” (cross created by Brooks Garcia) – what impresses me with this plant is that — that thing. You know, that long thing on the hood. Reminds me of an angler or something. 🙂 Now, not all the crosses from this grex look the same, (grex is just a geeky way of saying the plants that came from the same hybrid group): some have elongated lids, some are showing more color, some are exhibiting more flared hoods from the S. “Sky watcher” parentage — but they all look interesting. I hope that it gets some of that size from it’s rubra ssp. wherryi “Chatom Giant” as it matures. Yeah. 😉
