Carnivorous Plant Newsletter – March 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

Today I received my copy of the March 2015 Carnivorous Plant newsletter! YAY! If you haven’t already done so, become a member of the International Carnivorous Plant Society<\/a>\u00a0to get your copy of quarterly carnivorous plant newsletter goodness. In this\u00a0issue, a plant that I hold near and dear to me has been registered and published. Sarracenia ‘Legacy’ is now an official cultivar! I can not take the credit for this plant though. This was a cross that was done by Brooks Garcia<\/a>, and I grew S. ‘Legacy’ out from that 2008 seed batch. (Brooks, thank you so much for sharing your creativity and passion with the world!) Something brilliant was bound to come out of\u00a0the combined bloodline of S. ‘Leah Wilkerson’ x ‘Adrian Slack’. I’m thankful that I\u00a0was fortunate enough to receive the seed that this plant came out of. This is the first plant\u00a0that I’ve submitted and registered. Although my purpose of growing these plants is to enjoy them, I am hoping that some of my own creations would produce cultivar quality plants. And who knows, maybe some of those will be registered in the future. (Note: see past post\u00a0The Name Game<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Below is the description that is published in this issue of the CPN. The description can also be viewed on the International Carnivorous Plant Society website:

Sarracenia ‘Legacy’
\n<\/strong>Submitted: 24 September 2014<\/p>\n

Sarracenia \u2018Legacy\u2019 is a cross of S. \u2018Leah Wilkerson\u2019 \u00d7 S. \u2018Adrian Slack\u2019 produced by Brooks\u00a0Garcia in 2008, which I grew out from seed. Out of a very small handful of seeds that Brooks sent\u00a0to me that year, I was only able to germinate two seedlings. Sarracenia \u2018Legacy\u2019 was the only plant\u00a0to survive and grow from that particular batch.<\/p>\n

I coined the name Sarracenia \u2018Legacy\u2019 in 2012. The word \u201clegacy\u201d refers to a gift, or something\u00a0of value passed on from one generation to another. The name is derived from a combination of factors.\u00a0Sarracenia \u2018Legacy\u2019 commemorates the individuals the parent plants are named after, as well\u00a0as their work with the furtherance and\u00a0cultivation of this majestic genus. \u201cLegacy\u201d also pays homage\u00a0to the influence that the parent plants have, and will continue to have on\u00a0Sarracenia cultivation for\u00a0generations to come. On a more personal note, the name also pays tribute to those who have inspired\u00a0me in my botanical endeavors. I am deeply thankful for the botanical passion, vision, and drive that\u00a0has been passed into my life by so many wonderful individuals.<\/p>\n

Young pitchers start off predominantly greenish, with traces of white in the upper portion. As\u00a0pitchers mature under intense light, the white top portion of the pitcher intensifies and spreads, and\u00a0a strong prominent dark red splotch develops in the throat. These features\u00a0have been stable in both outdoor and greenhouse conditions. The pitchers of Sarracenia \u2018Legacy\u2019\u00a0typically attain a height of 60-75 cm however larger pitchers have been observed. Blooms are yellowish-cream with light hints of pink on the sepals. This plant should be reproduced only by\u00a0vegetative means to ensure that its unique characteristics are maintained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
