sarracenia leucophylla var. alba

Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba 'wide neck' Washington Co, AL

Washington Co, AL

First described
2019

A Washington Co alba (distinct from 'Thick Neck' C0387 — Mike confuses them) with stretchy white pigments and historically solid-white interiors. Wash. Co alata-influenced trait: late- summer trap production. 19 Mike photos (2019-2024). Mike accidentally double-threaded this clone — duplicate at thread 4588 (C0476, deferred).

Standout traits

  • Solid white interior in past seasons
  • Decent stretch on white pigments
  • Big late-summer trap production — atypical for leucos in NorCal climate; likely due to distant alata-influence in Wash. Co population
  • Strong shape under undisturbed full-sun cultivation (Mike, 2023)
  • Distant alata influence frame: Wash. Co leucos perform well in late summer when most leucos wait for fall

Cultivation

  • Phenotype variance is extreme — fall vs spring trap colors can look like different clones.
  • Best in undisturbed full sun (Mike, 2023).

Naming

Mike's working label. Distinct from S. leucophylla var. alba yellow flower 'Thick Neck' Wash. Co (C0387) — Mike notes the similar names cause him personal confusion.
