Hello everybody,

I'm wondering if the parentage of S. x EVA was published? Or is the exact parentage unknown?

I would be grateful for any information.

Thanks Alexis!  

Can I ask you where you get this information from? Do you know who made this cross? The only thing I know is that S. x Eva was introduced by CarniFlora.

Thanks in advance!

Doesn't appear to be registered as a cultivar in the ICPS database.

It's on Matthew Soper's Hampshire Carnivorous Plants website. It's not listed under it's 'cultivar' name, but it's been named unofficially somewhere along the line.

Not exactly.

Both Eva and Vogel where made by Rene van Kessel, the owner of Carniflora.
Vogel is of course named for Art himself, Eva for his wife, it stands for Els Vogel E.... and for the world I can't remember her maiden name a.t.t., sorry.
The crosses where made and named in connection with the retirement of Art Vogel from his job at the Leiden Botanical gardens.
The naming is intended to be official and Hans Luhrs is making the cultivar discriptions, but he is taking his time...

That seems to be correct. If you look at these photos of Mr. Vogel's Picasa album (You have to zoom in):

You can read "cult. R. van Kessel"

I'm really interested to see the official description of S. x Eva. Let's hope that happen soon.
