FRX Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nowadays there is an endless number of hybrid Sarracenias, after a dozen crossings starts getting hard to find the origins of a particular plant. I am newbie, I wonder if is possible the help from more experienced growers to identify these Sarracenias: Sarracenia 1 Sarracenia 2 Sarracenia 3 I hope you can help me,and sorry for the not very good english...

TheInactiveMoth Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 They all look as though they involve S. flava.... I'd venture to say that the last one is some kind of S. x moorei, but I can't tell with the others. Don't trust me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 They are very common hybrids probably involving leucophylla and rubra. Many people would refer to them as readii and stevensii... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ada Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 As people have already stated they are hybrids,that's definate.They contain leucophylla as one parent due to the white fenestrations and hairs under the lid but the other parent/parents are an educated guess,it could be rubra or flava depending on which clone was used. If it was rubra you would expect a plant with plenty of growth points and possibly shorter in its growth habit.(RED FLOWERS) If it was crossed with flava you would expect a larger plant with few,possibly one growth point and pink/orange flowers and that is if there is nothing else included in the cross. Unless you know where/or who you got it from, to ask them,i afraid its about as close to knowing as you'll get. ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
