Some Purp Things from Jerry

RobBlog


Some time ago, Jerry Addington crossed what appeared to be normal looking S. purpurea with other normal looking S. purpurea. A few of the resulting progeny looked pretty interesting. Last season Jerry had gifted me divisions of different clones and it’s been pretty cool to watch them adjust and develop. These have been growing outdoors since last season and have survived through one PNW winter. Photos are of recently opened pitchers, and on these fresh ones there is a lot of pink/rust color. I’ve noticed that on some plants those pink/rust areas will eventually bleach out. Let’s see if that will be consistent with these purp things. There’s already some hints of this showing and it has steadily been shifting each day. Certainly will be exciting to watch these evolve through their first year outdoors.
