Sarracenia flava var. ornata 'black veins' Bulloch Co, GA

Bulloch Co, GA

First described
2012
Type
population multi clone

Origin

Multi-clone population from Bulloch Co, GA. ~8 individuals in Mike's collection, ~3 distinct phenotypes (Mike, post #5, 2012-06-13).

History

  • 2012-06-11 — Mike's introduction; black veins finally setting in after ~2 months of pitcher maturation
  • 2012-06-13 — Mike confirms ~3 distinct phenotypes
  • 2012-08-05 — additional update [thread continues to ~2018]

Standout traits

  • True-black veins (lid; body when sun-exposed)
  • Crisp vein contrast — no red bleed
  • Yellow background
  • Picky / difficult to grow
  • Foundation parent of GC × Bulloch select (C0057)

Photos

Four Mike-source photos imported. See photos[].

Standout traits

  • Veins turn TRULY black on lid (and body if direct sun reaches) after ~2 month maturation
  • Crisp, clear vein contrast — no red bleed between veins (unlike most ornata clones)
  • Yellow background color — high-contrast
  • Picky / difficult to grow
  • Used as one parent of Mike's 'GC × Bulloch select' breeding line (C0057)

Cultivation

Outdoor Northern California. Picky, slow grower. Pack-close arrangement reduces direct-sun on body — body veins don't turn fully black.

Naming

'black veins' = phenotype descriptor; veins on lid (and body, in good light) turn truly black after pitchers mature ~2 months.
