sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora

Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora 'Back Row Giant' Liberty Co, FL

Liberty Co, FL

First described
2020

A consistently 3+ ft Liberty Co rubricorpora that breaks the typical year-on/year-off giant cycle — sizes up consecutively when kept happy. Slow propagator. Mike's Back Row Giant × Burgundy F1 yielded a solid-red giant seedling with dark-black interior. 18 Mike photos (2020-2024).

Standout traits

  • Consistently 3+ ft trap height year after year
  • Year-on-year giant pattern (atypical) — sizes up consecutively rather than alternating, as long as kept happy
  • Rarely produces side shoots — slow propagation
  • Crosses with this clone yield tall offspring
  • Mike's Back Row Giant × 'Burgundy' cross produced a solid-red giant seedling with dark-black interior (post 45366, 2020-11)

Cultivation

  • Year-after-year sizing. Most giant Sarracenia size up every other year (depleted rhizome reserves); this clone breaks that pattern.
  • Slow propagator. Rarely produces side shoots.

Naming

Mike's working label — refers to its location in the collection (back row community pot) rather than physical trait. Initially called 'TALL' in the first 2020 post.
