I’m constantly amazed at all the interesting insanity that these S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ hybrids exhibit.
[Sarracenia 'Reptilian Rose' x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla)]
Here’s yet another seedling from a cross that was done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman. S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ is a plant created by Phil Faulisi. (One of my favorites!) Many seedlings that are coming up from this cross are showing some unique and very interesting characteristics. The particular youngin’ plant photographed here drew my attention as it almost looks like a mushroom cloud rising out of the pitcher. I hope it keeps this hood configuration as it matures. Dude, It’s the bomb, yo!
Rob, you DO realize your comment about the “mushroom cloud” look of the hood comes the day before the 66th anniversary of Dr. Oppenheimer’s test of the Trinity device? Coincidence, or did you know?
I don’t know if you have seen enough progeny to determine this kind of data, but can you tell us what characteristics ‘Reptilian Rose’ transmits to offspring, and how often? Dominant traits, etc?
Great looking seedling!
Oh man, I had no idea!
I never seen a plant like this before so weird but beautiful. I wonder if the seed is available in the market or where could I buy the seeds of this Reptilian Rose?
Hi Nate, not sure if the seed is for sale on other places. My plant barely makes any seed – typically under 20 and it’s the same for a few other growers in my area. It may just be our climatic conditions. (??)
