'Royal Ruby'

ICPS-registered (2008) S. x moorei from 1991 N. FL collection. Foundation parent for Phil Faulisi's Reptilian Rose and other Phil masterpieces.

Standout traits

  • Excellent spring/summer traps + good fall traps under right conditions
  • **Foundation breeding parent** — Phil Faulisi's Reptilian Rose + many other masterpieces from this clone
  • Classic Royal Ruby look at maturity (Mike, post #10, 2023-05-22): reminds of Alucard hybrids and Reptilian Rose ancestry
  • Highly colored fall traps (Mike, post #11, 2023-10-16)
  • Hard to grow in less-than-stellar conditions (rmeyer, post #8, 2020); large divisions establish better than small (awkwardsilence, post #9, 2020)

Cultivation

  • Outdoor Northern California; needs warmth/sun for full color.
  • Difficult to establish from small divisions in cold-wet climates.
  • Foundation breeding clone; consider for moorei breeding work.
