One of my first planned hybrids was created a couple years ago. When I was really started to get into this thing, a couple of friends of mine were kind enough to really ignite the Sarracenia obsession in me. I received a division of Sarracenia “Bug Bat” from Wes Buckner, and a Sarracenia “Diane Whittaker” from Brooks Garcia. (Thanks guys!!) So a couple of years ago, they both bloomed for me — and you already know what I did with that… 
Photos below are of 3 different seedlings. Each has similarities and differences, but you can see both parent plants in the mix.
This is in honor of two of the guys that got me addicted…

Bug Bat? Sarracenias have the coolest names. They’re beautiful!
heh heh – thanks Megan! Yeah, there’s all these cool names – just wait till I start naming some of my crosses, I should come up with some really funktified stuff!
Love the photos bro. It inspires me that your carrying out your passion. Great blog!
Thanks Bro! I think I will name one after you when I find a plant worthy enough to carry the Sarracenia “Ronniemanansizzileforshizzletigerizzlewowshlawaoensis” name. YES!!
These new seedlings amaze me every time. I think the 1st is my fave, narrowly beating out the second. They’re all awesome though!
