sarracenia rosea

Sarracenia rosea Escambia Co, FL

Escambia Co, FL

First described: 2020

An Escambia Co rosea distinguished by extreme bulbous fall traps. Same clone produces dramatically different shapes between seasons (slim in summer, bulb-tastic in fall). Took Mike years to recognize the clone's value. 15 Mike photos (2020-2021).

Standout traits

Extremely bulbous fall traps — 'BULB-TASTIC'
Spring/summer traps don't reflect fall potential — must wait for fall to judge
Took years for Mike to recognize this clone as special
Same clone produces dramatically different shapes between seasons

Cultivation

Don't judge by spring/summer/juvenile traps — wait for fall bulb expression.

Naming

Mike's locality designation. Mike's running joke: rosea plants are 'large-figured' — get round and bulb-tastic.
