Origin
A typical-color S. leucophylla from Northern Baldwin Co, AL — Mike's example of the textbook 'regular' leuco look.
Standout traits
- Quintessential Northern Baldwin Co leuco phenotype.
- Unusually tall — a 2022 fall trap measured ~3 feet, after years cramped in a 4-inch pot.
Cultivation notes
Resilient to neglect and undersized containers. Forum member kiwiearl notes that 'standard'/typical Baldwin Co leucos are often overlooked in favor of color forms but are stunning in their own right — Mike's naming choice references that view.
Standout traits
- Quintessential Northern Baldwin Co leuco look — the 'regular' phenotype.
- Unusually tall for the population type — 2022 fall trap reached ~3 feet.
- After years of neglect (4-inch pot, root-bound), still produced a mega-trap.
Cultivation
Years of neglect in a too-small (4") pot, then a single mega-fall-trap year (Oct 2022). Implies the clone is forgiving of cultivation neglect and rewards a transplant to bigger pot.

Naming
"Standard Beauty" — Mike's nod to forum members like kiwiearl who note that 'standard' (typical-color) Baldwin Co leucos are stunning in their own right even though they get overshadowed by exotic-color forms.
