1st Crops of Pitchers, Part II

S. rubra alabamensis x (psittacina x rubra alabamensis) in the foreground, S. x 'Dixie Lace' in the background.  Both are still youngsters.


A slug-damaged S. flava var. cuprea.


S. purpurea x flava


From left to right: S. flava x alata, S. flava var. rugelli, S. leucophylla x purpurea. Actually, I'm not 100% sure the middle one is an S. flava. The tube seems a little too squared off, compared to the other flavas I have.


A young S. leucophylla x psittacina.


S. minor x rubra rubra


A young S. (minor x oreophila) x [(purpurea x rubra) x leucophylla]


S. oreophila x psittacina

And now some unknowns:


S. minor x


S. flava x leucophylla ? Its flower had long red petals and a yellow style.


An unknown complex hybrid. I'm guessing it has purpurea, rubra, and something else, maybe leucophylla, in it.


S. purpurea x minor?   The pitchers turn completely blood-red with age. It may also have some psittacina in it as well.

I'm jealous.

Me too!

NICE@!

Sarracenia,
You continue to amaze us all with your excellent photography of your plants.

The flava x leucophylla looks like it's been crossed back with a leucophylla to me.
Great pictures. You seem to like psittacina crosses - I've always wondered what they look like because you don't see many pictures around.

Great--so now I have to grow these too.

I hope you people know what you are doing to me!

Fantastic! Gorgeous!

Steve

those are some great pics!!!!! lemme know if you get tired of your plants

the one in the middle, where you aren't sure if it is flava or not, is INCREDIBLE!!! I want that one sooooo bad!!!

AlvinMeister - you are correct, sir! That is a (leucophylla x flava) x leucophylla.

Neppie - most likely I will be able to divide that plant next spring.
