And I have never seen a Judith Hindle, but tons of S. X readii. I do have S. X "Diane Whittaker" from Mike King, but "Judith Hindle" I just don't know. I still am convinced it to be S. X readii with little color.
Stephen's observation about all the 'Judith Hindle' voters is kinda funny. I've kinda noticed that too. I think part of the reason is because it's so widespread. People just assume it's the most likely candidate. But...when it's not a 'Judith Hindle, it's not a 'Judith Hindle'.
Bugweed...I'm surprised you haven't seen a 'Judith Hindle'. It was one of those elusive, all-desired hybrids back before it was tissue cultured. Now they're everywhere.
Problem is that somone will then label the plant as 'Judith Hindle', and then pass that plant to someone else mis-labelled. It's great to be interested enough to attempt an identification but it is better to have a plant labelled "unknown hybrid" than to have a guess and then pass on a mis-identified plant...
Stephen...I agree. It's better to have an inkling than just throwing out a name. I have recieved (and subsequently passed on because I didn't know) mislabelled plants. I stress again...this plant is not 'Judith Hindle'.
I just now read this, and looks like Manny , Bugweed, ect were right. I have to admit, I thought I was a JH from the first photo, for all the reasons already mentioned-because it is the TC hybrid that looked like this plant the most.
It's a good thing with have such experienced Sarracenia growers on this forum.
After checking out all of the posts and my own memories of growing this cultivar for several years now, my vote is for Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle'.
Isn't it amazing how much of a part, environment plays, in the development of plants.
I guess short of a DNA test, distributing small divisions to several growers of Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' should help to "lock down" a nearly positive ID.
Both 'Dana's Delight' and 'Judith Hindle' will turn almost comletely red given enough sun. 'Dana's Delight' will keep a bright pink almost fuscha tinge in the hood and throat - very disticntive. 'Judith Hindle' will get a darker maroon in the hood/throat. x readii keeps an olive green with red veining.
'Dana's Delight' will have narrow tall pitchers 2-3 feet. 'Judith Hindle' is shorter and more squat - no doubt more purpurea in the mix.
The hoods on 'Judith Hindle' and 'Dana's Delight' have very ruffled large upright hoods, where as x readii hoods are more parallel with ground. x readii has a narrow column (neck of the hood). 'Dana's Delight' has the widest column of the three. 'Judith Hindle' has the largest hoods of the three - 2-3 the width of the mouth. x readii has the smallest hoods.
Sarracenia x readii is a natural occuring hybrid of leucophylla and rubra.
'Judith Hindle' and 'Dana's Delight' are cultivars of complex hybrids of leucophylla, purpurea, psittacina and who knows what. They are propagated through tissue culture or division to maintain their characteristics.
