Sarracenia mitchelliana x excellens

S. mitchelliana x excellens[Sarracenia mitchelliana x excellens]

A very rad hybrid here that was from my good friend, CP Mama Lois Ochs of Raccoon Ridge Nursery.  In the spring it puts up somewhat regular colored greenish pitchers, but in the fall, that is when the leucophylla influence really shines imparting some stunning coloration as exhibited in the photo.  The exact parentage is uncertain, other than it was a cross between a mitchelliana (in other words, a purpurea ssp? / leucophylla hybrid) and excellens (or minor/leucophylla hybrid). Thanks Mama Lo!
