photo set of other grower collection

Origin

This thread documents Mike's photographs of California Carnivores' greenhouse-grown Sand Mountain plants. Multiple distinct clones in the CalCarn tray.

History

  • 2012-06-25 — Mike's photo set
  • 2012-07-02 — kiwiearl flags the second clone's jonesii-like profile and venation
  • 2012-07-03 — Mike acknowledges the parallel; notes S. jonesii's similar spring-boring → fall-ornate pattern

Standout traits

  • CalCarn greenhouse coloration
  • Multi-clone tray with at least one possible-jonesii-introgression individual

Photos

Six Mike-source photos imported, all 2012-06-25 at CalCarn.

Standout traits

  • Twin-wall polycarbonate greenhouse coloration — serious color development
  • At least 2 distinct clones photographed in the CalCarn tray
  • kiwiearl (post #2): one clone shows S. rubra ssp. jonesii bulge and venation — possible historic introgression
  • Spring-boring → fall-ornate / deep-red color cycle (Mike's parallel to S. jonesii pattern)

Cultivation

California Carnivores greenhouse cultivation. Twin-wall polycarbonate brings out colors not visible outdoors.
