Oh, more interesting things are being found here and there! Here’s a couple young plants from a cross of Sarracenia “Savanna Fire” and Sarracenia flava “Cinnamon Tube”; this particular cross was done by my friend Wes Buckner a few years ago. He sent me some seeds from this cross and they’re turning out pretty nice. By the way, S. flava “Cinnamon Tube” is a cross between flava var. rubricorpora x flava var. cuprea. Bear in mind the photos of the young plants below are last year’s pitchers that I left from the trimdown; they’re tell-tale signs of what is to come in the future. Last year I had the seedlings growing somewhat under the deck, so they didn’t get as long of a photoperiod as I would of liked to give them. They would of had colors that were more intense if under sun all day. Anyway, the plants are dormant and will wake up in the coming month or two and I’m really looking forward to that.
Again, note the variation between the different siblings. There’s more siblings that I’ve trimmed back and I’m looking forward to what they’ll show off in the coming season!
