pokie22 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 To Sarracenia growers across the pond, a taste of what they are missing. The local BACPS show and sale was on 6/4 and it was blast. Lots of great new people and of course - the plants. I documented what I could before I got swept up in idle chatter.The entrance to the BACPS eventMetal art piece in the front of the Garden Center -- great lawn ornamentA nice pond they had in the public gardensSome new friendsDisplay plantsCompetition Plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokie22 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 The sale room - these are from before the opening of the event and many sellers were not present or just setting up.

pokie22 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Below are pictures of my haul. Let me preface this by saying that I don't play around when I shop. Without further ado, it is time to drool I love the tall, dark, and beautiful ones so had to get a few.I was only semi-cognizant of what I placed in the shopping cart. And I might have went a wee bit over board at Phil's table . When I checked my haul at home, I was pleasantly surprised.First up, the mooreisS. x moorei "Super Heavy Veins" - a honkin division!S. x moorei "Purple Sparks"S. x moorei Phil's clone 1-AS. x moorei Phil's clone 1-C - I do believe that both of these are divisions from the same plant, clone 1. After going over the sale plants a half dozen times, being regaled by Phil's stories, and starved for the entire day, plants were simply piling themselves into the cart, lol. An absolutely lovely clone, so who am I to complain?S. x moorei Phil's clone 2S. x moorei Phil's clone 4S. x moorei 'Hot Lips' - OMG, how did this make it into my cart? I don't even remember adding this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokie22 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Some of Phil's hybridsS. x ( Readii x Royal Ruby) clone 2S. x (x moorei 'Leah Wilkerson') x ( leucophylla "Hot Lips") - On a table full of red mooreis, this one was very prominent. What a looker!! I am hoping for this one to be as vigorous and gigantic as its parents.S. x 'Stingray'S. x ('Reptilian Rose' x leucophylla pale) #1S. x ('Reptilian Rose' x leucophylla purple lips) - I was looking for this select clone and unbeknownst to myself, it was already in my cart. I scare myself some times.And the infamous S. flava "killer" - Yes people, the lid on this plant is f*cking ginormous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokie22 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Some plants from Mike WangS. flava var. ornata (Gulf Coast, FL)S. flava var. atropurpurea (European clone - Kew Gardens)S. flava var. ornata improved - yes, I would say so myself that this ornata is definitely an improved version. Somehow I ended up with two plants. I am uncertain if these are the same clone.S. leucophylla giant (Washington Co, AL) - It will be a few years before this achieves giant statusS. x moorei "Dan Winter"S. jonesii black lips (Greenville Co, SC)S. flava var. rugelli giant (Thomas Co, GA)S. flava var. ornata super improved black veins - Damn, look at those veins!!! Great job meizzwang , this is excellent breeding stock.S. leucophylla hurricane white creek clone E - Don't mind the decapitation. The bay area has been going through a heat wave.S. flava var. rubricorpora "solid red throat" (Liberty Co, FL)S. leucophylla "juju lips"S. x moorei "Wilkerson's White Knight"S. flava "extreme red throat"S. oreophila (UCB x MO17) select cloneS. flava var. rubricorpora (Lxbest) select dark clone (Liberty Co, FL)S. psittacina var. okefenokeensis f. luteoviridis (Gulf Co, FL)S. x moorei "Wilkerson's Red Rocket" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
