sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea

Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea / extreme red throat (ERT) Okaloosa Co, FL

Breeder

First described
2021
Type
breeding line multi clone

A Mike-bred F1 seedling from intercrossing original atropurpurea clones — proves ERT trait can originate from atropurpureas. Solid red lid. Sibling clones in same cross also produced ERT flavas without red bodies. 3 photos (2021).

Standout traits

  • Mike-confirmed: extreme red throat (ERT) trait originated from atropurpureas (or this is one pathway to make ERTs)
  • Solid red lid (yellow with red at opening, then turns solid red)
  • Same cross also produced extreme red throat flavas without any red bodies

Cultivation

  • This thread documents the genetic basis of the ERT trait — important for breeding programs targeting ERT phenotypes.

Naming

Mike-bred seedling from crossing 'all my original atropurpurea clones with each other in hopes of finding some better, hidden all red genes' — yielded both ERT clones and classic atropurpurea phenotypes.
