- population
A conservation-significant relic rugelii population from a small in-situ Evans Co, GA bog. Genetically very close to the extirpated Bulloch Co population — Mike plans to cross the two to increase survival chances. 18 photos (2022-2024).
Standout traits
- Conservation-significant — relic population barely hanging in situ
- Yellow color development (Mike 2023) — striking summer expression
- Genetically very close to extirpated Bulloch Co, GA population (Mike: 'if they weren't labeled, I probably couldn't tell them apart')
- Mike's plan: cross with Bulloch Co rugelii to increase heterozygosity + survival chances
- Red throats fill in once traps reach larger size
- Co-located with rare catesbaeis at the in-situ site
Cultivation
- Long crammed in community tray — divided + repotted winter 2021/22, finally photograph-able as of May 2022.
