Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Hurricane Creek White’ – Clone A
Sarracenia leucophylla – TAHBWG clone, from extinct GA site.
Sarracenia leucophylla “Red” – clone received from Phil Faulisi. Fall pitcher recently opened and pitcher will get a darker shade of red as it matures. I really enjoy that dipping lip that it has.

Awww yeah! Signs of life are appearing everywhere! The transition from the cool winter to warmer days has begun. Flower buds are a most welcome sight; the creative juices get flowing at the possibility of some great crosses. Here are a few spherical beauties getting ready to explode into those magnificent blooms that I so look forward to seeing each year.
Sarracenia moorei “Brooks Hybrid” – the first flower to crack open for 2014!
Sarracenia flava “Powhatan”

Sarracenia flava var. rugelii
Sarracenia oreophila
Sarracenia ‘Black Widow’
*Ahem* Grow a pair…
Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa black/red
Sarracenia rosea – veinless form
Sarracenia purpurea “Smurf” – I wonder if it will have 6 petals again this year?

Sarracenia alata “Red Mustache” – Jackson Co., MS
I received this Sarracenia alata from fellow grower Richard Stroop, who calls it Sarracenia alata “Red Mustache” cuz it has, well… a red mustache. Wish I could grow a ‘stache that good looking.
There’s no place like home. Like I mentioned in my last post, I deeply enjoyed my visit up north (thanks again Mark!), but it feels great to be back home and with the plants again. Below are some photos from my first day back in the Asylum. A few traps here and there… as well as a few blooms, and a few buds that I’m really excited to work with! Enjoy!

The Asylum. It’s great to be home.

Sown last year and growing quickly.

The pitchers from very late last season are still holding color well.

FINALLY, a BUD! After 2 years with no bloom, I finally get one this year!
Hope it survives and actually blooms for me though…
Ok, I know. It’s a freak. S. purpurea “Smurf” has a bud.
This should be interesting.
Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa var. burkii f. luteola
Got another one with a bud! I wonder if I should cross with the Smurf? Hmm…

Sarracenia flava “Widemouth” x (leucophylla “red” x minor var. okefenokeensis)
Yeah, with this wide open mouth, they look like they’re saying “AHHHH!!!” This was one of the crosses I did back in 2009, and so far it’s recovered quite nicely. Pitchers still look good this late as they put them up rather late in the season. I guess that’s just one of the side-effects of moving from those low light levels mid year. The little windows on the upper portion of the pitcher (called areoles) from the influence of the father plant (S. leucophylla “red” x minor var. okefenokeensis) carried over quite nicely. It’s subtle, but it’s there. The wide mouth influence of the mother plant also is quite apparent in this cross. They look kinda hungry…

Sarracenia flava “Widemouth” x
(leucophylla “Red” x minor var. okefenokeensis)
A cross I did back in 2009 that I germinated in 2010 now showing some “mouthy” character. The pod parent plant is a flava clone I got from Karen Oudean which she calls Sarracenia flava “Widemouth”. (Check out this prior post for a photo of S. flava “Widemouth” from earlier this year.) It has a larger that your average spout-for-a-mouth and I can kind of see some of that in the one seedling above. This was one of those “OMG, I almost forgot about this thing” discoveries I referenced earlier. I also wrote about one of the siblings here – but not even sure if that one I wrote about earlier was one of the survivors of the group. I kinda like this one. It looks to have a very slight bulge at the top of the pitcher. Only time will tell what it will really be like as it matures.
