A rising legacy has begun to unfold. This is the select clone of S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x ‘Adrian Slack’<\/a> – a cross that Brooks Garcia created in 2008.<\/p>\n

The word “legacy” can refer to a gift, or something of value passed on from one generation to another. For now I am calling this plant Sarracenia “Legacy” and the name is derived from a combination of factors. S. “Legacy” commemorates the individuals for which the parent plants are named after, as well as their work with the furtherance and cultivation of this majestic genus.\u00a0“Legacy” also pays homage to\u00a0the influence that the parent plants have, and will continue to have, on Sarracenia cultivation for generations to come. On a more \u00a0personal note, the name also pays tribute to those who have inspired my botanical endeavors. I’ve learned so much from so many – and I am deeply thankful for the botanical vision that has been passed into my life.<\/p>\n

As the season progresses, the hood and upper portion of the pitchers will fade to white. This creates an intense and vibrant contrast with the throat splotch that darkens to a deep red as the pitchers mature. Below are a couple of photos capturing the S. “Legacy” unfolding.<\/p>\n
