sarracenia flava var. rugelii

Sarracenia flava var. rugelii — Clone A (best clone) × Clone B seedlings + reference clones

Breeder
Mike Wang
First described
2011
Type
controlled cross batch plus reference clones early collection

Origin

Mike's earliest rugelii documentation (2011-12-05). Mike used letter designations:

  • Clone A — Mike's 2011 "best clone" rugelii. Used as seed parent.
  • Clone B — second parent in the documented controlled cross.
  • Clone F — separate selection, well-defined red blotch on the pitcher; "always a pleasure to grow."
  • Clone A × B — fast-growing seedlings from the cross.

This early lettered-clone series is the precursor to later breeding-line iterations like rugelii GIANT (2AT × Bob Hanrahan) documented in cluster C0786.

Standout traits

  • Clone A — Mike's 2011 'best clone' rugelii.
  • Clone F — well-defined red blotch, 'always a pleasure to grow.'
  • Clone A × B seedlings — fast-growing offspring; Mike's earliest documented rugelii cross.
  • Multi-clone reference set Mike used as the basis for later rugelii breeding work (compare to rugelii GIANT 2AT × Bob Hanrahan, cluster C0786).

Cultivation

No cultivation specifics in the 2011 source thread beyond "fast-growing seedlings." The thread is documentation of an early rugelii clone set; later rugelii entries cover specific named individuals and breeding-line iterations.

Naming

Letter designations (A, B, F) — Mike's earliest internal numbering for individual rugelii clones. Clone A was Mike's "best clone" at the time. No formal cultivar names.
