Origin
A single red individual selected by Mike from hundreds of leucophylla seedlings — sticking out from the crowd for stretchy, well-defined red coloration even on small spring traps. Likely tied to Mike's Covington Co AL leuco material (C0624).
Standout traits
- Spring-trap red character is unusual for leucophylla.
- Color is well-defined / stretchy, not faint.
- Mike forecasts based on prior breeding experience this is likely to become one of the best red wild-type leucos in cultivation.
Cultivation notes
Currently un-named, under observation pending maturity.
Standout traits
- Stretchy, well-defined red coloration on spring traps — uncommon in leucophylla.
- Spring-trap red performance promising even at seedling size.
- Mike: based on past breeding experience, has a 'very high chance of becoming one of the best red wild-type leucophylla clones out there.'
Cultivation
Under observation as of mid-2023. Future updates expected as the clone matures.
