Here’s some photos of the collection to show how the colour of the plants has developed since the last photos.
This is a clone of S. flava I call ‘Dragon’ for the intense red of the pitcher mouth, which is reminiscent of a fire-breathing dragon. It is one of the first seedlings I have grown to maturity, the cross being made in 2011 as a selfing of a form of S. flava I’ve called the NSW clone elsewhere on this blog.
Sarracenia flava var. flava ‘Helmut’s Giant’ showing its very fine and faint throat venation.
Some more flava var. flava – a clone from Gotcha! Plants (left) and Helmut’s Maxima.
Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea ‘FRT 1-1’.
Some years ago, I asked John Creevy if he could try making a cross for me – FRT 1-1 crossed with a very slow and stunted atropurpurea I grew that came from Phil Reyter’s collection. The plant above is the result. This is the first year its been big enough to see the results.
I also made this cross, and the seedling at left is what resulted. Its still got a while to go. At right is another atropurpurea from Ron Abernethy’s collection.
Another atropurpurea that I am pretty sure came from Owen O’Neil’s collection.
Two clones of S. flava var. atropurpurea from Blackwater S.F., Florida.
Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea ‘FRT 1-5’

Sarracenia flava var. rugellii, ex collection Phil Reyter.
Sarracenia flava var. rugellii ‘Triffid Park clone’ (note – this is not Triffid Park’s ‘cut throat’, which is a clone that has never done well for me at all).
Some more home grown plants – a var. rugellii and a selfing of FRT 1-1…
And to close, a very nice home grown clone of var. rubricorpora.
