- Mike Wang (selected from seedling batch)
- First described
- 2024
- Type
- single clone from seedling batch
- Cultivar
- 'pink interior'
Origin
Selected from one of Mike's large leucophylla grow-outs from Washington Co, AL parent stock. The plants are grown in crowded community trays for years before standouts are recognized — this clone emerged on that timeline. Mike notes more potential standouts are likely hiding in the same batch, still maturing.
Standout traits
- Pink coloration in the trap interior — atypical for leucos and the basis for the name.
Cultivation notes
Mike's seedling protocol: 4-5+ years in community trays before serious selection. The selection bar requires phenotypic stability across seasons; this clone is at the early end of that evaluation window.
Standout traits
- Pink-colored trap interior — distinctive vs typical leuco interior.
- Selected from a large grow-out of seedlings in community trays — Mike's process: wait 4-5 years, watch for standouts to emerge as plants mature.
- Mike acknowledges more standouts may still be hidden in the same seedling batch.
Cultivation
Grown in Mike's outdoor NorCal collection in community-tray conditions. Mike's pattern for these grow-outs: leave plants crammed in trays for 4-5+ years to let phenotypic differences emerge as they reach vegetative maturity, then select standouts for individual care and propagation.

Naming
Descriptive: 'pink interior' — the inside of the trap displays pink coloration, distinguishing this clone from the typical white-and- veined leuco interior.
