sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba 'original chameleon' Baldwin Co, AL

Baldwin Co, AL

First described
2016
Type
single clone named
Cultivar
'original chameleon'

The reference clone for the chameleon-aging phenomenon — same plant produces both alba and regular leuco traps simultaneously on a single rhizome.

Standout traits

  • **Same plant produces both var. alba and regular leuco traps simultaneously** — definitive demonstration of chameleon-aging trait Mike has documented across multiple clones
  • Both trap types connect to same rhizome — cannot be explained by clone confusion
  • Important reference clone for the 'don't judge alba by individual trap' framework

Cultivation

  • Outdoor NorCal.
