Spy Vs. Spy
Sarracenia “Spy Vs. Spy”
This interesting plant originated from Brooks Garcia – which he christened as Sarracenia “Spy Vs. Spy” after the MAD Magazine comic that debuted in 1961. The plant looks like it belongs in the comic! More info on “Spy Vs. Spy” on the Wiki here!

Sarracenia “Pink Eye”
Sarracenia “Pink Eye” – beautiful, tall, and elegant hybrid involving Sarracenia alata and Sarracenia leucophylla. This plant originated from Brooks Garcia. When the pitcher first opens up, it is a stunning combination of green, white, complimented with fine dark veins running throughout the upper portion. As it ages, the nectar roll fills in with the mischievous pink color. So awesome, it almost makes me itch!

Leucophylla – The Fall Classic
OH YEAH! I am still BUZZING from the SF Giant’s win last night — clinching the NL Pennant! Next stop: World Series – The Fall Classic. A magical time of year. If you’ve been following my (ever increasing SF Giants influenced) tweets you’ll know that I pull for this team and represent in my garden here, pollination here, 2011 parallels here, pitcher plant companion catcher plant here, and Sarracenia SF Giants tattoo here. Be sure to check out this very awesome post: Why Gardening is Just Like Baseball – by John Markowski.
In light of The Fall Classic, I wanted to share some images of another fall classic: Sarracenia leucophylla. Fall is the season when these plants (and their hybrids) really shine. They put out their best pitchers during this season – almost as if to celebrate an epic season, and give us one last hurrah before heading off into their winter rest.
Enjoy the photos…and as always: LET’S GO GIANTS!

Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava v. rubricorpora x leucophylla)
More of Dr. Travis H. Wyman’s handiwork with S. ‘Reptilian Rose’. Here is only one of the few clones that I have grown out from seed of his cross. Dr. Wyman did this cross in 2008. This particular clone is making a beautiful comeback! It is also showing consistent irregular and chunky nectar roll character which is the thing that I love so much with S. ‘Reptilian Rose’. S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ is hands down one of my favorites and was created by the legendary Phil Faulisi. I hope to have some great updates on the rest of the siblings — especially next growing season. Quite a few of them have thrown up some great spring pitchers in the past. If you have some time, check out this past update on some of those siblings seedlings and other S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ crosses.

Sarracenia areolata x ‘Dana’s Delight’
Ahhh. this cross is showing off some bangin’ color right here! Almost as if to say – “Yo, look at me. LOOK AT MEEEEE!” – A deep and vibrant fall flush of color explodes above the old floppy foliage. This is Sarracenia areolata x ‘Dana’s Delight’ (or ‘Diana’s Delight’) – a cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman from 2008 that I grew out from seed. Seed was received from Dr. Wyman on 17 July 2008. A couple different clones photographed below. Bangin’.
