Rising From the Wreckage

It’s that time of year where many of the pitchers from earlier this season are turning into a wreck. Many of the Sarracenia flava and oreophila pitchers are getting crispy. It’s kind of that in between time for me right now. Some plants are fading, while the S. leucophyllas and their hybrids are starting to put out the fall pitchers. During this time of year, the seed pods start ripening and I start preparing for the next generation. Lots of interesting stuff in the works and I’ll share more on this later.  For now, enjoy a few frames of fresh foliage rising above the fading pitchers.

S. ‘Reptilian Rose’, just in case you’re wondering.

The angular nectar roll of the S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ was tamed by the leucophylla in this plant, however the resulting specimen is still rather quite lovely.

The AF Quest Continues

My quest for more interesting AF (Anthocyanin Free) creations continues. Here is just one stop along the journey: Sarracenia (leucophylla “Purple Lips” x flava var. rubricorpora) x “Green Monster”. This was a cross I did back on  April 21, 2011. As I mentioned in this earlier post, it has that “hidden” anthocyanin free gene that I hope to unlock in subsequent crosses with other AF plants, or AF recessive plants.

A fantastic S. mitchelliana cross by Phil Faulisi using S. leucophylla “Purple Lips” x rosea “Big Mama”. The pitcher coloration will become much richer as it ages. Beautiful work as always, Phil!

Reptilian Rose Crossing Activity

Earlier this season, I organized the various S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ hybrids that were created by Dr. Travis H. Wyman. I numbered each unique seed grown plant in order to catalog them. For now, here are a few various S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ hybrids with some fresh foliage/flower activity. The other clones should be opening up pretty soon and I’ll get those photos up in a future post.
