Sarracenia minor var. okefenokeensis 'Clone Q' Ware Co, GA
Ware Co, GA
- First described
- 2013
- Type
- single clone named
Coppery-headed Ware Co lettered-series clone with shape that improves with size. Source population reported as extirpated.
Standout traits
- Coppery heads — generally consistent in expression
- Better trap shape at giant size than at smaller size (Mike, post #1, 2013): 'the traps look more shapely when they are giant in comparison to when they are smaller'
- Relatively fast growing
- Consistently giant in years with favorable growing conditions
- Giant rhizome typical for high-trap-size okees (Mike, post #1: 'the rhizome on the mother plant is ridiculously big — same can be said for all okee giant plants with giant traps')
- Lipstick-like nectar roll — kiwiearl's distinctive descriptor (post #2, 2013)
Cultivation
Outdoor Northern California. Trap-size expression closely tied to growing-condition quality — high-quality years produce giants; off-years still produce attractive shapely traps.
Naming
'Clone Q' — Mike's internal letter designation.
