Sarracenia mitchelliana AF, a seed grown plant of my own crossing.
New pitcher seems to glow against the older pitchers of the season.
This year is really flying by. It felt like it was only moments ago where I had fresh spring pitchers and flowers in the Asylum… now I’m seeing more S. leucophylla and S. leucophylla hybrids starting to show their pitchers off. Tis’ the season! Here’s a few S. leucophylla and friends to greet the arrival of August…
Sarracenia leucophylla – Franklin Co., FL – Clone A x B
Cross by Wes Buckner
Sarracenia leucophylla “AJ01”
Sarracenia leucophylla – Anthocyanin Free
Sarracenia leucophylla “Purple Lips” x leucophylla “Mesa Exotics”
Cross by Phil Faulisi
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Hurricane Creek White’ – Clone A
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Bris’
Whatta freak.
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Bris’
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Schnell’s Ghost’ x ‘Adrian Slack’
Just cracked open not that long ago!
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Schnell’s Ghost’ x ‘Adrian Slack’
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Hurricane Creek White’ – Clone F x ‘Adrian Slack’
Still a very young seedling. They all used to be uber crowded in one pot…
that is until I placed them in group trays. Now they’ll have a little bit more time before getting crowded again. See the second photo of this post. There’s a few others out of this batch that are showing some really nice promise. Stay tuned. 🙂

Sarracenia “Peedough’s Passion” – Exact parentage unknown
From Lois Ochs (Thanks Lois!)
Sarracenia (leucophylla “red” x minor var. okefenokeensis) x ‘Bugscoop’
One of my crosses from a couple of years ago. Showing some character now.
Sarracenia alata red/black x ‘Kilimanjaro’
The Sarracenia leucophylla influence via S. ‘Kilimanjaro’ shines through on
new fresh pitchers, but as it ages it darkens to a rich deep red. Such a nice plant.
(Thanks, again Eric!)

Hello all you beautiful people! Yeahhh, I know — It seems like it has forever since I’ve posted anything here. Yeah, things have been pretty busy outside of the garden the past couple of months but rest assured I still make time to go down and recharge my soul in The Asylum. The plants are all still doing good, but it’s that weird in-between time for me now. Spring pitchers already are burning out (thanks to my early season start) and pitchers of the autumn-indulging plants are just starting to form. Anyway – here’s a quick and dirty photo-update-reel from the past few weeks.

Sarracenia oreophila – for the most part the spring pitchers are gone. Still a pitcher here and there looking ok.
Sarracenia leucophylla ‘Hurricane Creek White’ – clone F x ‘Adrian Slack’ I had this one seriously cramped pot of of these seedlings and repotted those seedlings into these four trays. You can see the old foliage all floppy n’ crud but they’re all throwing up new pitchers. Should be a pretty interesting cross.

FREAKIN’… THANK YOU ERIC!! So not that long ago a really awesome surprise came in the mail from Eric Morrow. After a somewhat really bad week for me, this surprise was a huge pick-me-up. By the way – check out Eric’s Instagram feed for some Sarracenia-heavy updates: @sarraceniacrazy!
Sarracenia (‘Leah Wilkerson’ x oreophila) x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla)

In my clean up of plants this year, I was glad to have found this baby barely surviving. I salvaged what I could and glad it’s recovering nicely!

Sarracenia leucophylla “Purple Lips” x (rosea “Big Mama” x leucophylla “Purple Lips”)
Cross by Phil Faulisi
Sarracenia ‘Alucard’ “Prince of Darkness” x alata ‘Night’
A cross I did a few years ago. Had a few of these growing in one pot, and the pot self culled itself. I recently repotted the survivors (strongest of that bunch…) and they’re putting up some promising young pitchers.
Sarracenia (minor x willisii) x purpurea ssp. purpurea) x leucophylla
Another neat little seedling of a cross I did that is reacting well to the repotting from earlier this year.
Sarracenia flava “widemouth” x (leucophylla “red” x minor var. okefenokeensis)
Sarracenia oreophila x ‘Adrian Slack’
I repotted most of these plants into individual pots only this year. They seem to have liked that.
Sarracenia oreophila x ‘Adrian Slack’
Sibling to the one above it. The whole litter has everything in between both of these forms and color schemes. Gotta love the diversity.
Sarracenia oreophila “veined” x ‘Adrian Slack.
S. ‘Legacy’ like!

Sarracenia ‘Adrian Slack’
Sarracenia ‘Leah Wilkerson’
Sarracenia ‘Legacy’
Here’s one of the more recent crosses I did – Sarracenia leucophylla “Hanrahan” x alata AF. I’m excited about this one because… well… it’s an AF recessive S. areolata and can’t wait to use it in future AF projects. And… it’s fuzzy!
Not a pitcher plant but… sheeyat, I’m loving how this Drosophyllum is doing.

Things in The Asylum are still moving along. One area of the greenhouse that I am constantly battling is this mess. I’ve jokingly been saying the seedlings are in “self culling mode.” (Well, maybe I am not so joking about it.) I say this because the strongest continue to grow out while the weak ones just seem to self-compost.
The mess.

There are so many young plants in this pile o’ foliage that have some great potential. Here are just a few from the fray that I’m feelin’. So many more gems in this mess. Stay tuned as those will be included in future updates.

Quite the lovely color palette on this plant. Great work, James!
Back on 16 May 2015, I had the pleasure of visiting my bro Kinjie’s garden. This visit was quite the whirlwind weekend in the Pacific North West (PNW.) I managed to see both Kinjie as well as my friend, Derek in a time span of about 24 hours before heading back to the SF Bay Area. This mos’ def was not enough time! Kinjie has a brilliant collection of Sarracenia and I’m honored to have been able to witness his garden in person. (Kinjie, Allison and Siri – thanks for having me over!)
Hope you enjoy a few of these photos from the Garden of Coe!

Many of the Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ crosses by Dr. Travis H. Wyman have just turned out fantastic and it has been a joy to watch the plants mature from seed over the years. The parent plant, Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ was created by Phil Faulisi, and breeding lines involving Phil’s prodigious reptile have yielded quite fascinating results. I can only imagine where these breeding lines will take us in the coming years. One plant that really catches my eye year after year is Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) – clone #15. This plant sends up a beautiful disorderly mass of pitchers with the strong angular influence from Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose.’ This gives the plant a chaotic appearance, hence my (currently working/unofficial) name, Sarracenia “Chaos.” As the season progresses, the coloration will darken and turn to a deep red.
