Lidless Freaks
Carnivorous plants are in a category of their own, and within this special syndicate of bizarre botanical badassery there are those plants that are, well… just plain freaks. I’m talking about some of these lidless ones. Some may even apply the adjective “fugly“ to these curiosities. But hey – to me, they’re beautiful in their own unconventional way. Keep it freaky.
Sarracenia flava var. ornata – lidless

Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla) – Clone 11
It’s fun watching these S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ hybrids mature. Some of the crosses have that angular peristome that have carried over from S. ‘Reptilian Rose’, while others don’t. Here’s one cross that was done by Dr. Travis H. Wyman between S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ and (flava var. rubricorpora x leucophylla). To keep track of them, I numbered the plants out of each cross. The one below is number 11. It kinda reminds me of a stop sign or octagon when viewed from the top.

An Assembly of Sarracenia
Just a few shots from around the greenhouse for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
A fly lives life on the edge… Sarracenia alata “Red Mustache” eventually wins.

Back Home
Home sweet home! I recently returned from a family vacation up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It’s nice to be back, but I really do miss it up there. I got the chance to visit Karen Oudean and Jerry Addington and meet up with a couple other talented growers. (Kinjie and Phaedra – great to meet you! Brie – I’m sorry we missed you!) And yes, I’ll be featuring photos from that visit in an upcoming post, so stay tuned!
For now, here’s a few snapshots from within The Asylum. Great to be home.
The Asylum. The Sanctuary.

I returned home packing my suitcase with a few plants from Jerry. (Thanks again, Jerry!) The plants have made the trip back safe and sound and have been potted up. Here’s a couple of the plants that made it back with me.
Sarracenia oreophila hybrid
Sarracenia “06-02” – sibling to Sarracenia “Jerry’s Goliath”
Parentage is uncertain, however Jerry suspects that S. ‘Doreen’s Colossus’ is involved somehow with Sarracenia “06-02” and Sarracenia “Jerry’s Goliath.”

Rising From the Wreckage
It’s that time of year where many of the pitchers from earlier this season are turning into a wreck. Many of the Sarracenia flava and oreophila pitchers are getting crispy. It’s kind of that in between time for me right now. Some plants are fading, while the S. leucophyllas and their hybrids are starting to put out the fall pitchers. During this time of year, the seed pods start ripening and I start preparing for the next generation. Lots of interesting stuff in the works and I’ll share more on this later. For now, enjoy a few frames of fresh foliage rising above the fading pitchers.

The pitcher falling to the right of the frame is
S. ‘Reptilian Rose’, just in case you’re wondering.

The angular nectar roll of the S. ‘Reptilian Rose’ was tamed by the leucophylla in this plant, however the resulting specimen is still rather quite lovely.
