So, since I’m stuck on the whole AF thing (again, AF is short for anthocyanin free),\u00a0 just wanted to share one of the crosses that is part of an AF hybridization project. So with this particular cross,\u00a0 my goal is to create a large green anthocyanin free gigantor S. minor<\/a> looking type plant. \u00a0 This is only step one in the process.\u00a0\u00a0 Last year, fellow grower\u00a0 Mike Wang, lent me a Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis<\/a> that was going to flower.\u00a0 I had some stored Sarracenia “Green Monster”<\/a> pollen in the fridge that I used on it.\u00a0 It gave me a few seeds this year and the below photo is a result of that cross. \u00a0\u00a0 Now comes the fun part. Yay for awesome geneticish type stuff! The plants below now have that recessive AF gene, and when crossed again with another AF plant, it should unlock some of that AF goodness!\u00a0 I am also hoping some of the size from the Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis<\/a> would carry over.\u00a0 It’s going to be a couple of years, but still a something to look forward to!<\/p>\n
