Sarracenia “Defiance”
S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) #11
Cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman

It has been a pleasure to partake in the journey of growing out Travis Wyman’s various S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ crosses from seed. The angular peristome of S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ has had some wonderful influence on some of the progeny.

This particular individual sports a large jagged mouth and stout tough looking pitcher structure. As the season rolls on, the mouth develops a deep red hue that contrasts nicely against a bleached ruffled hood. It gives this plant a bold and defiant look. Because of this, S. “Defiance” was a fitting name.
