Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis (introgressed) Camden Co, GA

Camden Co, GA

First described: 2021
Type: population

A heavily psittacina-introgressed minor population from outside the Okefenokee drainage system. One pure minor in the batch; rest are minor giant × psittacina hybrids with incredible color. Foundational stock for Mike's red-minor-giant breeding work. 17 photos (2021-2023).

Standout traits

Heavily introgressed with psittacina (per Mike's morphology read)
One 'pure' minor in the batch (small)
Hybrid-ey clones have incredible color (Mike 2023)
Ideal breeding stock for red minor giants — psittacina genes likely amplify color
Significant — newly discovered population from outside Okefenokee swamp drainage

Cultivation

Hybrid-vigor clones produce incredible colors.
Breeding potential — Mike's red-minor-giant breeding plans rely on this stock.

Naming

Mike's locality label. Plants don't all look like classic minor giants; pollen donor was likely a minor × psittacina introgressed clone (per Mike 2022). Newly discovered population per Mike 2021.
