sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba 'white back' Baldwin Co, AL

Baldwin Co, AL

First described
2018

A Baldwin Co alba with a strikingly asymmetric white expression: white pigment region dominates the back side of the trap with minimal front-side white. White builds with trap age. 3 Mike photos (2018-10-03).

Standout traits

  • Asymmetric white expression — back side white-stretches dominantly while front side has minimal white
  • Pigments start non-white at trap opening, develop into deep white as the trap ages

Cultivation

  • Color expression progresses with trap age — don't judge on freshly-opened pitchers.
