As I was doing some clean up of some young plants recently, I came across something interesting hiding in the fray of last year&#8217;s burnt out foliage. The cross is Sarracenia (leucophylla x purpurea heterophylla) x (rubra ssp. jonseii AF x minor var. okefenokeensis) by Jerry Addington. There are 2 young plants in there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you probably already know, last year was not kind to the plants at all, and I didn&#8217;t get to see any of the real characteristics of the plants come about, so I couldn&#8217;t really tell what kind of things I had going on with the younger plants. I&#8217;m constantly finding surprises here and there&#8230; and I wonder what other things I&#8217;ll find as I still go through and trim the dead pitchers away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The plant on the left still has one sort of decent yet fading pitcher left over from last year. The plant on the right has a new pitcher coming up that has a unique amount of pale cream\/white that covers most of the pitcher. Interestingly enough, both parent plants have anthocyanin free recessive genes. I clipped the older pitcher that was all crispy and burnt, but the other burnt out pitcher on this pale plant from last year has a pitcher that looks like it stayed pale with a flush of red. I&#8217;m guessing that it will eventually get that red flush to the pitcher. For sure it&#8217;s something that I&#8217;ll be keeping a watch on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarracenia (leucophylla x purpurea heterophylla)\u00a0 x (rubra ssp. jonseii AF x minor var. okefenokeensis) Cross by Jerry Addington I recently had a bright find.
