Every now and then, a freak pitcher pops up. And I’m not just talking about “The Freak” SF Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum! (Although he had an amazing relief appearance during game 1 of the World Series last night! GO GIANTS!) In the past, I’ve run into freaks such as this double hooded thing, or this other double hooded thing. I recently spotted this Sarracenia (leucophylla x oreophila) x [(leucophylla "red" x minor var. okefenokeensis) x 'Royal Ruby'] (cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman) with a double fused pitcher. Rad stuff!

Wow, is it possible in any way for this mutation to stick? Like if it’s a seddlings, and this occurs often?
Hey there! I’ve seen it happen only a few times and a few other fellow growers see it happen every now and then. It’s not consistent at all. Maybe self pollinating the plant could increase the chance, but who knows? No idea what causes it, but it happens every now and then. It would be cool
I don’t know why but I keep thinking of the old Doublemint Gum commercials…
ohh yahh!
Witchcraft, I say!!!
Well, it IS close to Halloween after all!
Freaky! :p
Gotta be worth it though, two for the price of one?
