Sarracenia flava var. maxima x leucophylla “Burgundy”

This cross by James Soe Nyun of Lost in the Landscape is coloring up nicely. I’m really excited to see how it evolves this year as the pitchers get more coloration. What strikes me about this plant is the inverted vein pattern in the back of the throat. Sweet radness!

From initial observations, breeding with select S. flava var. maxima clones can have this influence expressed in the progeny. Yuri Sarzi, a fellow Sarracenia breeder who runs the Carnivorous Creation and White Pitcher Plant Facebook groups, pointed me to this awesome link some time back. (Thanks Yuri!) The link contains some unique and beautiful S. catesbaei crosses created by Miroslav Srba with the “inverted vein” pattern. I checked in with Miroslav Srba, and he mentioned that not all S. flava var. maximas will breed this way. Needless to say, it looks like I have something else to add to my future breeding projects. Fun!

From Lost to Found

Back in late 2010, I received seeds from fellow Sarracenia enthusiast and breeder, James Soe Nuyn of Lost in the Landscape. Among the seeds that were sent to me were Sarracenia flava “Widemouth” x flava var. ornata “Black Veins”- Bulloch Co., GA and Sarracenia leucophylla “Burgundy” x flava var. maxima.

I started the seeds in 2011, however with all of the transition last year, I was afraid that I may of lost these babies. As I was sorting and cleaning the seedling tables, I’m glad that I was able to once again be re-united with them. Lost and now found!

In going back through archives and notes, I saw that James was going for a flava with attitude with the first cross: a wide mouth and strong black veins. In using flava var. maxima with the other cross, James was going for a moorei clone with “strong smeared coloring and without a lot of veining (or maybe even light-on-dark veining).” The plants are young but I can see that he’s on target with both of them. It will be fun watching these seedlings evolve. Thanks again, James!

Suspicious Hidden Agenda

Here are couple young plants with a “hidden” agenda. Thanks to the pollen parent, S. flava ‘Suspicion’, these plants have a hidden anthocyanin free (AF) gene that can be unlocked in subsequent crosses. The AF-ness can be unlocked by crossing the plants with other AF or AF recessive plants. I grew these out from seed, and they hopefully should be of blooming age next year. For an anthocyanin free nut like me, I’m eager to start using these plants in future AF projects.
