Hybrid Update: S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x ‘Adrian Slack’

Sarracenia 'Leah Wilkerson' x 'Adrian Slack'
[Sarracenia 'Leah Wilkerson' x 'Adrian Slack' - Cross by Brooks Garcia]

Just a quick update on this plant to show you how it’s doing.  It’s a cross that was done by Brooks Garcia that I grew out from seed.   I really do love the contrasts of the white, red, and green.  The oval mouth and hood structure and subtle vein pattern are things that I also enjoy  about it.  I can’t wait to see this plant at flowering maturity!

A few folks have asked about this particular seedling. It’s still a young plant, and *YES*, I do have hopes of getting it out there in cultivation to ensure that there is a surviving genetic representation out there. (It’s like … conservation, through sharing…) It will take some time to get it in mainstream circulation though, as it’s still young – but that is mos def’ where I’d like to see it!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!

  1. I want ittttttttt………..damned cites :(

  2. That honestly is better than both the parents… I just can’t stop looking at it!

  3. Effing beautiful! I love ‘Adrian Slack’, and this looks like it might be even better! Lucky you. :-)

  4. Thanks Paul! Looking forward to seeing this at full maturity! :)

  5. Are you considering sending this to a lab for tissue culture? I would consider it if I were you, so that in three years, when you know a lot more about its adult behavior, you will have tissue cultured plants are coming along, poised and ready to distribute this. Its just not that $$$ anymore!

    • Yep, along with a few others. Either lab or a DIY tissue culture set up. There’s a few growers I know of that have done it themselves as well, *successfully* I might add. It is worth a shot ;-)
