Standing Out

Posted on February 12, 2013 | 3 comments

Hey everyone, hope your having a good week so far! Here’s a few more photos of some plants that are awake and are standing out among their (slowly waking) siblings. Enjoy!

Oooooh… now this is pretty interesting! Well, for me at least. I know there were a couple of freak early flowers that opened up last month – but seeing buds start to pop up like this always is exciting. Many more buds are on the way and The Asylum should soon soon be flooded in bud breaking badass-ery. Here’s a few AF (anthocyanin free) buds for your viewing pleasure. Oh, the potential!

First Flava

Posted on February 9, 2013 | Leave a comment

Sarracenia flava
New growth

When I stared down this Sarracenia path, one of the very first plants I bought was this Sarracenia flava. It was a single point rhizome years back. Now it’s grown into a multi-crown plant and sending up new growth. It’s also the first of the flavas this year with a pitcher! I’ve left much of the dead foliage on as you can kind of see in the background but all of that will be chopped off soon.

Red and Gold

Sarracenia 'Reptilian Rose' x (flava v. rubricorpora x leucophylla) Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava v. rubricorpora x leucophylla)
– Clone 8 –
Cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman – 2008

With only a few days left before [insert major sporting event here], this hybrid crossed by Dr. Travis H. Wyman opens up to display a wonderful contrast of red and gold. Could this be a sign? (…Go 49ers!)

Shooting Around

Just a few random shots from around the ‘house… enjoy!

S. (oreophila x ‘Royal Ruby’) x ‘Adrian Slack’ – young pitcher of a cross I did a couple of years ago. I believe that this is a pitcher that was sent up a bit later last season.

S. [(oreophila x minor) x (purpurea x rubra) x leucophylla] x “Green Frog”
This is a complex hybrid I did a few years ago. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen some characteristics from this baby.

Sarracenia psittacina
This is a large clone from Jerry Addington. It is still dormant and was recently repotted. It does not look like much now, but hoping it throws out some beast-mode behemoth foliage once it wakes from dormancy.

Sarracenia rosea “Big Mama”
It’s currently dormant and recently repotted. Just like the S. psittacina above, I am hoping it throws out some beast-mode behemoth foliage once it wakes.

S. ‘Black Widow’ x flava var. ornata

Posted on January 25, 2013 | 4 comments

Last year, I didn’t really see any strong defining characteristics with the plants as they were waking up. From what I’m seeing, this year is off to a strong start. Yo, it’s friqin’ exciting seeing the plants wake up looking happy. Most of the plants are still dormant, but there are some that are awake. One of the recent pitchers that I came across was of S. ‘Black Widow’ x flava v. ornata. This cross was done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman in 2008. I’ll be watching this one as I suspect that it will get darker as the season progresses.
