A moorei

As Monday looms right around the corner, I’m leaving this weekend on a nice note; behold the pitchers of one of my favorite Sarracenia moorei’s (a moorei is a flava/leucophylla cross; see a general run down of the species here) is  starting to color up now. This particular one was created by fellow Sarracenia addict bro dude, Phil Faulsi – it’s Sarracenia leucophylla “Purple Lips” x flava v. ornata. I love this particular clone -  it’s coloration will only intensify as the season progresses, and the nectar rim that is now a light color will go deep purple/black. I love chunky-ish feel of the overall pitcher formation as well. Truly, a spectacular Sarracenia.
