A golfball(ensis) with Judith Hindle influence…

The following is a seed grown clone of Sarracenia psittacina “golfballensis” (sorry that link is only to a list of photos to Sarracenia psittacina’s, at least you get an idea; and for some reason I can’t find any photos of the variation “golfballensis”) and Sarracenia ‘Judith Hindle’.

This cross was created by Brooks Garcia, and the seedling below is about 2 years old. S. psittacina “golfballensis” gets to have large sized hoods/heads, the size of a golf ball (hence the name).  Below is pictured only one of several seedlings that I am currently growing, all are a bit different, but this so far has been the strongest seedling of the batch.  It’s only 2 years old but is putting on some decent size for it’s age, and showing good color. I am looking forward to what it can do as it matures.
