- collection photo tour multiple unidentified clones
Origin
Photographic tour of California Carnivores' (Sebastopol, CA) leucophylla collection by Mike Wang. CC has held leucophyllas since at least the early 1980s; many wild source sites for these historical clones are likely now lost.
Tour structure
- Outdoor-grown plants: 9 clone phenotypes including Mike's "winner clone" (the 9th outdoor photo).
- Polycarbonate-greenhouse-grown plants: 9 clone phenotypes showing the size + color amplification CC achieves under glass.
Standout observations
- Polycarbonate effect: greenhouse plants are visibly larger and more colorful than outdoor plants of the same clones.
- Phyllodia-then-fall pattern is universal across the collection — reinforces Mike's general advice on leucophylla patience.
- Foundational stock: many CC leucos are from sites that no longer exist in the wild.
Photos
18 Mike-Wang photos from October 2012 — 9 outdoor + 9 greenhouse.
Standout traits
- Documents 17 leucophylla phenotypes side-by-side at California Carnivores
- Includes outdoor-grown and polycarbonate-greenhouse-grown comparisons
- Snapshot of a long-running cultivation collection ('since at least the early 80s')
Cultivation
No clone-specific cultivation advice. The thread serves as a reference for visual phenotype comparison.
