Origin
One of the original John-Hummer-distributed HCW clones from Hurricane Creek, Baldwin Co, AL. Wild site is destroyed.
History
- 2012-05-16 — Mike's first thread post. Demonstrates same-clone phenotypic variation across divisions: a pink-pigmented bent trap, a green-veined hood, multiple subtly different shapes — Mike confirms all are 100% the same clone
- 2013-04-29 — spring updates (Photobucket-only; broken in current archive)
- 2014-04-25 — Mike's "tallest HCW trap I've ever grown" close to 1 m
- 2015-09-07 to 2015-09-25 — peak coloration year; "Scream!" trap (Mike's own caption, with the alabamensis correction noting it's a Munch reference, not Van Gogh)
- 2017 — boarderlib documents an HCW clone E × F cross
- 2018-09-16 — sunburnt but white traps
- 2020-09-21 — Mike notes plants planted borderline too close together; still good fall traps
- 2022-09-26 — most recent update
Standout traits
- Tallest of Mike's HCW lettered series (~1 m fall trap)
- Strong same-clone phenotypic variation
- Reliable white fall pitchers when traps mature
Cultivation notes
Outdoor Northern California. Mike's general HCW guidance applies.
Photos
Twelve Mike-source photos imported, 2012-2022. See photos[].
Standout traits
- Tallest HCW clone Mike has grown — close to a meter (post #5, 2014-04-25)
- Same-clone phenotypic variation across divisions (Mike: '100% for sure the same clone' across visibly different presentations)
- Spring traps occasionally show pink pigments; fall traps go pure white
- Robust grower — vigorous division when not held back
- Mike (post #10, 2015-09-08): 'monster traps... pretty darn white'; Mike (post #38, 2022-09-26): consistent strong performance year-on-year
Cultivation
Outdoor Northern California. Mike's general HCW guidance applies (see HCW clone F for the formal cultivation prescription). Clone E in particular shows extreme height when undisturbed and well-fed — ~1 m fall traps documented 2014, monster summer/fall traps documented through 2015-2022. Mike's 2020-09-23 update mentions planting clone E borderline-too-close together.

Naming
'Clone E' = Mike's accession-code letter. Same lettered-series as Clones A, F, G in his HCW collection.
