RL -

That flava is gorgeous! I have a flava clone which also, while beautiful, falls over every year because the hoods fail to keep out the rain.

If that plant of yours ever needs dividing, you and I need to work out a trade!

Sorry 56k-ers!

S.x rehderi and D. capensis

Seedlings: two very red S.x mitchelliana, and S.x harperi x flava 'Burgundy'. You can see the range of gentics in this last hybrid - some are very red, some heavily veined and a couple almost all green.

Three year old S.x moorei x leucophyllas. The pitchers look a bit like 'Leah Wilkinson' on one of them.

Alvin,
Interesting hybrid "S.x alata x flava 'Burgundy'". Most hybrids are noticeable as hybrids but this one has retained all (seemingly) of the S. flava characteristics without betraying it's S. alata parents.

Some of those cobra's mustaches are massive...

Nice photos btw...

Yes, that hybrid does look very much like flava, but has pale yellow flowers. Genetics are strange!

Alexis, When I grow up I want my plants to look just like yours!

On Tuesday, I visited Peter and Marilee at California Carnivores and saw a truly spectacular plant. I snapped a couple of photos that, unfortunately, do not do the plant justice. Here is
the S. moorei [S. flava x leucophylla] cultivar registered as
S. 'Adrian Slack' (B.Hanrahan & B.Meyers-Rice).

that's one of those i have been waiting years for, since seeing it on the cover of CPN a few years ago. probably never get one, but one can keep hoping.

That is very interesting indeed as I saw an 'Adrine Slack' at Bob Hanranhan's place and it looks nothing like Bob Z's photo. Mooreis can be a very fickled group of hybrids. They seem to change color from year to year. I have dozens and they are never consistant.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The plant photo you posted is also striking (& I don't usually like hybrids!).

My favorite VFT is 'fused tooth' specifically because you never know what the next leaf/trap is going to look like. They're all different - keeps you guessing!

S. rubra ssp. wherryi x S. alata.

This was an early shot and the petal color had not peaked yet.

Red-Lip Leuco

I have become hooked on the variation in colors and patterns in this group.

That 'Adrian Slack' photo is magnificent! Equal with 'Leah Wilkinson' for attractiveness IMO.
