Here&#8217;s a couple sibling young plants that my friend Wes Buckner did between <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpphotofinder.com\/sarracenia-bud-wilkerson-2737.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sarracenia &#8220;Bud Wilkerson&#8221;<\/a> (a moorei, or a leucophylla \/ flava Sarracenia hybrid) and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpphotofinder.com\/sarracenia-x-chelsonii-745.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sarracenia chelsonii<\/a> (a Sarracenia purpurea\/rubra hybrid).\u00a0 He sent me these seeds about 3 years ago, I think.\u00a0 You can see the variation between the two and that&#8217;s what makes Sarracenia breeding for me so fascinating. You never quite know what you&#8217;ll get.\u00a0 One is producing nice upright veined and ruffled pitchers drawing influence from S. chelsonii. The other plant (that should produce some larger pitchers this coming year, and not as quite as large as it&#8217;s sibling yet)\u00a0 has a little bit more of the moorei influence and what I hope to be a consistent vertical throat splotch. The latter reminds me a little bit of some cat&#8217;s eyes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7147\/6796059421_f30d3fa874_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sarracenia &#8220;Bud Wilkerson&#8221; x chelsonii<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7152\/6796065493_7742998d22_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/>Sarracenia &#8220;Bud Wilkerson&#8221; x chelsonii<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of the fun of diving into the fray of trimming and cleaning is finding things that I haven&#8217;t seen in a while, or at times &#8212; didn&#8217;t even know about.\u00a0 There&#8217;s so many plants hiding between this and that, &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/2012\/02\/sarracenia-bud-wilkerson-x-chelsonii\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[473,474,73,130,287,472],"class_list":["post-1973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-bud-wilkerson","tag-chelsonii","tag-hybrid","tag-sarracenia","tag-variation","tag-wes-buckner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1973\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thepitcherplantproject.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
