(Those are plants that lack <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/browse\/anthocyanin\" target=\"_blank\">anthocyanin<\/a>, or the pigments that give the plants the colors that range from red to blue.) I know, I know&#8230; I am strange.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I must confess that I think I&#8217;m starting to have a little crush on veinless plants too. They&#8217;re hawt. (GASP!) Now, those are not anthocyanin free as there&#8217;s still some red\/pink tones in the leaves. &#8220;Erm&#8230;<em>OH GAWD ROB, THAT&#8217;S SO BLAND AND BORING!<\/em>&#8220;, you may say. Well, yeah. Duh. It&#8217;s different. And I <em>like<\/em> it! I find that vienless plants have this delicate and elegant element about them. Perhaps it&#8217;s the hues of the pink and yellows that leads me to think this. It gives the plant this quiet glow. Such a nice contrast to all the face-melting loud coloration and patterns of many a fine specimen out there. (Hey, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with those either, love those too!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here&#8217;s a few photos of \u00a0S. alata &#8220;veinless.&#8221; I know that there&#8217;s some faint veins in the photos below, but as it ages, \u00a0I think that those fade out anyway. I received the plant this year. Along with the rest of the plants, it has had a rough spring\/summer and now recovering quite nicely. It&#8217;s making a good comeback and looking forward to more veinless goodness next season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8456\/8018558165_693557c8a9_z.jpg\" alt=\"Sarracenia alata - veinless\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" \/><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sarracenia alata &#8220;veinless&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8460\/8018557837_927c665dda_z.jpg\" alt=\"Sarracenia alata - veinless\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" \/><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sarracenia alata &#8220;veinless&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8320\/8018561952_5cbd7856bc_z.jpg\" alt=\"Sarracenia alata - veinless\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" \/><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Sarracenia alata &#8220;veinless&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been following my blog, following me on twitter, or even had a 2\u00a0minute\u00a0conversation with me about Sarracenia, you already know that my obsession is anthocyanin free plants.
