So i have this sarracenia that looks like a leucophylla hybrid of some sort.I know iding is kinda difficult coz there is so much hybridisation but im slightly curious:
(crappy photo i know...) the plant gets about 4-5 hours direct sunlight but it doesnt get any redder (only the throat gets an intense red) and in fact the white windows in it are getting whiter(!)is it a hindle hybrid?? |

| After having posted several photos of similar looking plants, this summer, the experts in the field don't want any part of trying to IDing them as a any particular cultivar or hybrid. So I've been told to call them all, S. leucophylla. Here's what I mean:

| ugh...so its hopeless, right? i know leycophylla and hybrids have the same cultivation requirements but a name to go with that plant would be nice... :-/ |

| Taz: Looks like sdcps caught my gloss. LOL! And yes, I would certainly have jumped all over you! Seriously, it may not be apparent from the written word, but I'm just teasin' ya. |

| ehmmmm,sorry guys but this is all i can give it...at least pitchers are upright not leaning(unless they are full of bugs).... :-( |

| Full sun means sunrise to sunset and that's what it needs in order to ID it properly or even close. I feel sorry for the plant. It should be going dormant soon. As it starts producing fall leaves back off on the water some. Fall leaves wont open and have a curl to them. They should stay fairly flat like a blade of grass but slightly thicker. |

| Oh, no worries taz its not my first pitcher plant!I had a purpurea and another leucophylla.purpurea died the same year i got it (bug problem i didnt notice until too late).This one in the pic i have for almost 3 years,its not very colorful i know but is growing like a weed;lots of offsets,roots all over the place and i repotted it in a gallon pot.And it made phyllodia already!thanx for the advise! |
