Back in January of 2008, I got some seed from fellow Sarracenia obsessed grower and Sarracenia pusher, Brooks Garcia. (Yeah, he be one of those dudes that got me addicted.)
He crossed Sarracenia “Flying Nun”* x flava var. rubricorpora. All of seedlings are turning out pretty nice. This one has some open pitchers now so just wanted to share a couple photos of the progress of this particular “Flying Nun”* baby. Check it out, yo!

*The Sarracenia “Flying Nun” used in this cross is not the catesbaei, S. “Flying Nun” as photographed in the link. The link shows a plant that was named by Phil Faulisi, as Brooks Garcia noted in the comments.
Rob,
“Flying Nun” is my Flying Nun not Phil’s. His is green and mine in red and not a Catesbaei. What you are showing is exactly the results I was hoping for: more a red Flava than a Catesbaei. Good job growing!

Thanks Brooks, I’ll amend the post to reflect accordingly!
rob your pics are so great… that last one would be awesome blown up…. almost as wall paper.
Sup Jenn, thanks so much. I don’t do much really, just push the button and the plants do the rest.
