Not as impressive and diverse as Alvin Meister's collection (amazing) but here are a few snapshots on a nice day. My plants think it's Spring. Lots of new growth and flowering.
It was bred by Matthew Soper of Hampshire Carnivorous Plants. It was put into tissue culture by Carniflora, Holland, so you'd have to negotiate with them getting a sealed flask over.
Coincidentally, I had just happened to snap a bunch of pics today, when I noticed all those wonderful pics that were added today. Here's my Sept. contributions:
alabamensis x oreophila
(alata x flava) x mitchelliana - a two-year old seedling of a cross I did. Here's a Profile Shot, and here's a Shot From The Back. Overall, I'm excited about this one. It has an interesting shape and nice coloration.
areolata x [(psittacina x purpurea) x minor]. another 2 yr. old seedling from a cross I did. Slightly reminiscent of Scarlett Bell, but with less white spotting and the lids tend to open up.
'Citronelli' x (flava x psittacina) - this is a 1 yr. old seedling of a cross i did. Here's some brothers and a Sister
that's an x excellens on the left and an (alata x oreophila) x mitchelliana on the right. just love the red tint on that one.
another 1 yr. old seedling. not quite as grown up as the other 1 yr. olds. oh yeah, it's 'Extreme Unction' x 'Ladies In Waiting'. Still kind of early to tell, but looks to be a colorful plant. Here's a Couple of Siblings.
flava x psittacina at the front, excellens x formosa in the back.
(flava x psittacina) x (oreophila x willisii) - 1 yr. old cross of mine. these are all kind of plain-Jane looking, except for this rogue Sibling, showing some promise from this particular cross.
I have more pics to put on here, but I am out of time for now. stay tuned.
[leucophylla x (psittacina x rubra)] x alata nigrapurpurea. A 1 yr. old cross of mine. I like it. Seems to have gotten most of its genes from its dad. Here's a Frontal shot.
(leucophylla x oreophila) x minor. another 1 yr. old. not as developed as other 1 yr. olds, but starting to show some adult characteristics. looks like it will have a lot of minor showing through. here's a Side view.
'Love Bug'
a 2 yr. old unknown seedling. it was a stowaway in a potted plant I bought at Meadowview. obviously minor x something. rubra I'm thinking.
'Monster Mash' x 'Citronelli', another 1 yr. old cross. Here's a much less colored
moorei x flava - 2 yrs. old. the only surviving seedling from a pack of seeds Brooks sent me a couple of years ago. I thought he said they were from the Wilkerson bog, but I could be mistaken. They were labelled something like Walton Co., FL.
(oreophila x psittacina) x moorei - yet another 1 yr. old. still just a baby, but looks promising, color-wise.
oreophila x 'willisii'
x readii F2 - this plant is about the size of a 2-3 yr old seedling, although it's at least 4-5 yrs. old. I wonder if it happens to be due to it being inbred.
Unknown 2 yr. old seedlings, from crosses I did in 2002. The labels faded away, so I'm left to guess what they are.
i think this is probably a sibling to the (alata x flava) x mitchelliana shown earlier.
not sure on this one
this is the only surviving seedling from a pack of mixed hybrid seeds I got from the ICPS. the rest were eaten by something, about 3 weeks after germination. slugs perhaps? anyway, looks kind of catesbaei-ish.
this one is either (rubra x mitchelliana) x (rubra x moorei), or areolata x (leuco x oreo). same with this one, this one, this one, and this one. I think they are probably all siblings, and from the areolata x (leuco x oreo) cross.
this one, i think, is either (rubra x mitchelliana) x (rubra x moorei) or (rubra x chelsonii) x (leuco x oreo). I think the latter.
I'm almost positive this is areolata x (leucophylla x oreophila), just because it looks so much like the areolata parent
SARRACENIA! YOU ARE A SHOW OFF!!!!! (Don't stop now!!!!!!!!)
BTW, Walton County is the county that the now famous Wilkersons Bog is from. There are now two Wilkerson's Bogs as Mrs. Wilkerson's brother-in-law, Bud, also has a good size CP bog on his property.
Finally- my first picture post!
These first two are from the Botanical Garden in Hamburg, Germany. My Mum took the pictures this summer during her stay with relatives.
This next set speaks for itself.
This one is of a baby offshoot of Liberty County, Florida rubra.
Big thanks to Bug for giving me these babies! There'll be more pictures to come and the next time I can get my mom's camera, I'll get some more! Great pictures, everyone!
P.S. If these pictures are still to big, let me know and I can size 'em down further.
