Sarracenia “Crown of Thorns” (Parentage: S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) – clone 10 – Cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman) has a little funkiness built into the flower. Going under the flower hood, we can see the style (upside down umbrella sac thing) forms irregularly. I guess it comes from the mama, plant, S. ‘Reptilian Rose’. Flowers on Reptilian rose form slightly irregular, with the style tips occasionally folded over inside the flower. In the case of S. “Crown of Thorns”, the style looks like it was pinched. Breeding with it as a pod parent can be a little challenge – but the flower is viable and pollination is well worth that little bit of extra effort. Because of the pinch, the stigmas are located a lot higher and tighter inside the flower than it normally would be on a regular Sarracenia flower. It’s not too difficult to pollinate, just requires a little bit more care to navigate the flower structure to get to the pollen targets.
