Origin chain
Wild-source Escambia Co, FL leucophylla, formal name clone A. The provenance chain:
- Eric Morrow — original grower; seed-grown selection from his collection. Eric exited the hobby for personal reasons.
- Matt Miller (Flytrapcare.com) — acquired Eric Morrow's entire collection. Matt and helpers spent a winter repotting and dividing everything. Matt's working term: growing crops for Jesus.
- Mike Wang — received a division from Matt ~2 years before the 2025 thread.
Per Eric (via Matt): the Escambia leucos are a "swarm of genetics" — flava, purps, psittacina genetics intermingled in the wild population.
Confirmed giant status
Matt's mother plant has consistently produced jaw-droppingly enormous traps for 4 years — consistency is the key signal of quality genetics rather than a fluke trap.
Mike's working name upgrade from "clone A" to "GIANT" is based on this confirmed performance.
Sister-clone context (cocles)
cocles (forum post #3) flagged that 3 distinct GIANT leuco clones from Escambia Co exist in cultivation:
- Mike Wang's
- Matt Miller's (this entry)
- Jeremiah Harris's
All slightly different in coloration, especially the lip. cocles plans a direct side-by-side comparison of two of them.
Standout traits
- Confirmed giant — Matt Miller's documentation: jaw-droppingly enormous traps consistently produced for 4 years.
- Mike's plant (still small): vigorous, pitchers already showy even before reaching mature size, hard to walk by without noticing.
- Per cocles: 3 distinct GIANT leuco clones from Escambia Co exist — Mike Wang's, Matt Miller's (this entry), and Jeremiah Harris's. All slightly different in coloration, especially the lip.
- Performs consistently year over year — high-quality genetics signal.
Cultivation
Mike's plant is still small as of 2025-09-19 — division from Matt's recent send. Even pre-mature, the traps are showy.
Forum context: cocles plans to grow Mike's clone alongside Jeremiah Harris's clone for direct side-by-side comparison. Cross-collection comparison data pending.

Naming
Formal name: "leucophylla clone A Escambia Co, FL." Mike argues for the working "GIANT" upgrade based on confirmed giant performance — Matt has documented gigantic traps consistently for 4 years.
