Sarracenia leucophylla 'Super Pink' Baldwin Co, AL

Baldwin Co, AL

First described
2017

A standout pink leucophylla from Baldwin Co, AL — Mike's best pink leuco out of ~40 in his collection. Electric pink interior with crisp white top contrast; cilia on the body. Yellow flowers (unusual in leucophylla — discovered 2018). Pink-interior trait dominant in breeding. Cultivar-status candidate per Mike's framing. 20 Mike photos spanning 2017-2020.

Standout traits

  • ELECTRIC pink — Mike's defining intensity claim; pops out of the crowd
  • Classic leucophylla shape — doesn't look 'hybridy' despite the unusual color
  • Cilia / hairy texture on the body of the trap — unusual
  • Crisp white-vs-pink contrast — white top stays white
  • YELLOW FLOWER — discovered 2018-04-08; surprise trait, possible rosea introgression hypothesis
  • Average vigor; division-friendly
  • Pink-interior trait DOMINANT in breeding (Mike, 2020-06-01)
  • Cultivar-status candidate per Mike's 2018 framing
  • Probably the best pink leuco Mike knows of (2018-10-03)
  • Spring/summer traps usually unimpressive; fall is the show

Cultivation

  • Wait for fall — spring/summer traps usually unimpressive.
  • Division-friendly.
  • Color builds with cold fall nights.
  • Pink-interior trait DOMINANT in crosses.
  • Standard leucophylla care.
