sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba (Rod's favorite × the one)

Baldwin Co, AL

Breeder
Mike Wang
First described
2021
Type
breeding line multi clone

A complex 2-generation Mike-bred alba selection — Rod's favorite (HCW F × L42, the first documented multi-locality alba outcross) crossed with 'the one' (rare-good-day Baldwin alba). F1 seedlings inherit vigor + heavy white. Joey's downstream clone produced 2'+ fall traps year 2. 3 photos in primary thread (2021).

Standout traits

  • Mike-bred F1 — 2 generations of strict selective pressure
  • Inherits Rod's favorite vigor + L42 alata-introgression-derived heavy white
  • Late-summer + fall trap flushes (alata-introgression hybrid vigor)
  • Joey's clone produced 2'+ tall fall traps in second year (2022)
  • Recovered from mealybug infestation + still flushed strongly (Joey 2021)
  • lynxylynx (2021): 'These bad boys will be amazing for breeding!'

Cultivation

  • Hybrid vigor + alata-introgression background = late-summer
    • fall double trap flushes.
  • Tolerant of mealybug damage (Joey).

Naming

Mike's parent-cross designation. Pod parent 'Rod's favorite' is itself an HCW × L42 hybrid (the first documented alba outcross between two distinct localities) selected by Bristol (forum member) for vigor + tall flowers + tall traps + easy color. Pollen parent 'the one' is the rare-good-day Baldwin Co alba — shy to color, rot-prone, but spectacular when conditions hit.
