- Mike Wang (selection from Nova batch)
- First described
- 2022
A selected color-form clone from Mike's Nova Red Stone Co alata seed batch. Color form ambiguous (nigrapurpurea or atrorubra) — lid darkens significantly while body may stay green. Sister to C0490 Nova Red line. 9 photos (single 2022 season).
Standout traits
- Selected for distinctive color form from Nova seed batch
- Mike (2022): undecided whether nigrapurpurea (black) or atrorubra (red) — coloring up with age
- Newly-opened traps look very different from week-old traps
- Lid-interior darkens significantly even when body stays green (unusual phenotype split)
- Significant phenotypic variance trap-to-trap on same plant — Mike couldn't get a representative photo
- Recently divided/transplanted at time of 2022 documentation — color may improve once established
Cultivation
- Color expression depends heavily on establishment + season — recent divisions don't show full character.
