Sarracenia ‘Reptilian Rose’ x (flava v. rubricorpora x leuco) #10
Cross by Dr. Travis H. Wyman, 2008.
This was a cross I did back in 2010 using Sarracenia leucophylla “Juju Lips” as the pod parent and Sarracenia flava “Widemouth” as the pollen parent. S. leucophylla “Juju Lips” was a term coined by Jacob Farin of Sarracenia Northwest. It’s Hawaiian slang for “big lips.” This leucophylla has a nice little spout action that gives it a proportionately larger looking lip when compared to the rest of the pitcher. Sarracenia flava “Widemouth” also has a larger than average “spout” in proportion to the pitcher structure. I wanted to combine both of these characteristics in this cross and my goal was to come up with a moorei (a S. flava/leucophylla cross) with a wide dipping spout. Below are a couple youngsters. They’re still young and there are slight hints expressed in the plants of what I was targeting. It is my hope that the wide/deep lipped characteristic is expressed more as they mature. So far, I kind of like what I am seeing.

Here’s some young green (anthocyanin free) plants! There’s still a lot of evolving to do, but so far, so good!
Sarracenia (rubra ssp. jonesii AF x minor var. okefenokeensis)
x “Green Monster”
This AF plant is the result of crossing one AF recessive plant with an anthocyanin free plant. This seedling is the only one that survived the multiple moves. Glad that it was the AF one that survived!
Sarracenia moorei AF
Sarracenia mitchelliana AF x “Green Monster”
Sarracenia venosa AF F2
Sarracenia courtii AF x purpurea ssp. venosa AF
Sarracenia ((purpurea heterophylla x rubra ssp. jonesii AF) x (leucophylla AF x rubra ssp. gulfensis AF)) x “Green Monster”
***
…and here are a few AF recessive babies that should be fun to work with in future breeding projects!
Sarracenia “Green Monster” x rosea “Big Mama”
Sarracenia “Green Monster” x rosea “Big Mama”
I think the little seedling that photo-bombed this photo may be S. “Green Monster” – F2. It’s possible that some of pollen from the pod parent may have gotten on the stigma. At this point, it certainly looks that way.

Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis x “Green Monster”
Left to right: Clones 1, 2, 3
Cross done in 2009.
These plants are a a result of the collaboration project with Jerry Addington and Mike Wang that I describe here and here.

A couple years ago I self pollinated the anthocyanin free excellens (S. leucophylla AF x minor AF) known as Sarracenia “Green Monster.” It’s an outstanding anthocyanin free leucophylla/minor hybrid created by Bill Scholl. It also has been making for some interesting breeding. Below are some photos showing the variation that came from selfing this beast.
Sarracenia “Green Monster”
Sarracenia “Green Monster” F2
Not so many areolas present on this seedling, but I still enjoy the contrast of those polka dots against the neon green.
Sarracenia “Green Monster” F2
This clone looks like the parent, however if you notice the windows on this baby are slightly raised. Nice!
Sarracenia “Green Monster” F2
The leucophylla influence on this seedling is really coming through! I like how much white is present on this one.
Sarracenia “Green Monster” F2
This baby has some tall and slender pitchers, very serpentine like.

Sarracenia “Orange Glow” x ‘Adrian Slack’
A curious creature with a quiet porcelain like color scheme.
