Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) – Clone 11

Posted on November 14, 2013 | 7 comments

It’s fun watching these S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ hybrids mature. Some of the crosses have that angular peristome that have carried over from S. ‘Reptilian Rose’, while others don’t. Here’s one cross that was done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman between S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ and (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla). To keep track of them, I numbered the plants out of each cross. The one below is number 11. It kinda reminds me of a stop sign or octagon when viewed from the top.

Sarracenia ‘Black Widow’ x flava var. rubricorpora

Posted on June 13, 2012 | 1 comment

Back in 2008, Dr. Travis H. Wyman did a cross with two beautiful plants – Sarracenia ‘Black Widow’ x flava var. rubricorpora. This year these babies are showing off some nice characteristics even in my sub par conditions. DUDE… how I am looking forward to getting away from this dark plant-hole. (Insert frustrated expletives here.) Anyway, I’m likin’ what I’m seeing for now – and if they are looking like this now – I could only hope and imagine what they’ll be like once they get full sun!

Like Dr. Wyman tells me – genetics is a crapshoot. You really don’t know what you’ll get. What is so fascinating to me is that there’s so much variation and surprises in store when growing plants from seed. Below is a good example. The heavily veined seedling shot up quick and has nice height to it. The other sibling is shorter, but exhibits a nice red coloration. In full sun, I would guess that the veined plant would a deeper flush of color once I move into the new place, and I hope that deep red plant goes almost black… We’ll see when we get to that point!
