crich Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I call it Medusa for the flailing thin pitcher wings that twist and turn uncontrolled.The actual pitch trap and hood are so small in comparison to the long skinny wing of the body. I'd be grateful for your help please with identification. Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loakesy Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I don't you'll ever know for sure beyond the fact that it's a hybrid. It looks like there may be some leucophylla and psittacina in the mix, but there may be more to it than that. Medusa sounds like a perfectly good name for it as long as the name hasn't already been taken! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crich Posted July 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks so much Andy for your sharing your knowledgeable insights. I am grateful for your expertise in being able at least to identify the various species that make up this wacky hybrid. I wish I had such a talent as yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Looks light starved. Might be able to ID it if it becomes more robust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crich Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hi Alexis, It gets 6-8 hours of sun per day, sitting fully exposed on a large stone open patio. It's definitely not starved for sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Might even have some S. minor in its history. Whatever it is, it looks like it would benefit from splitting and repotting! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
