Sarracenia: A Lidless

RobBlog, Sarracenia

A cross was done by Wes Buckner some years ago – the parentage was: Sarracenia leucophylla – Franklin Co., FL x “Red Viper”. Seed was sent out and a sweet lidless plant came out from a batch that Phil Faulisi grew out. I am not entirely convinced that this lidless came out of that parentage (…but who knows, right?). It is still a unique beauty and one that I enjoy growing. Flower sepals and pitchers are tinged with gorgeous red veins all while looking sorta heliamphora-esque. New pitchers are forming and will be open soon.
