Sarracenia leucophylla and friends

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…

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 (leucophylla "red" x minor var. okefenokeensis) x 'Bugscoop'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'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!)

Rising Blades

The form of new pitchers rising are blade-like in appearance. These swords and spears cut and pierce their way into spring; they slice past the wreck of last year’s foliage. Soon they will inflate and morph into the cylindrical savage beauty that I am so enamored by.
