Origin

Wild origin Wilkerson family property, N. Walton Co, FL. Acquired from Brooks Garcia (the namer of S. x Leah Wilkerson). One of the northernmost wild rosea localities; Mike speculates historic rosea/venosa intergradation here.

History

  • 2012-07-27 — Mike's intro
  • 2012-07-30 — Mike confirms hood trichomes (back), body smooth
  • 2014-07-15 — sustained
  • 2018-11-01 — post-multi-year-neglect winter-2017 repot recovery; identified as semi-dwarf

Standout traits

  • Phenotype intermediate between rosea and venosa
  • Semi-dwarf (genetically capped trap size)
  • Short, small flowers with chemical-tinged scent
  • Unique among Mike's roseas

Photos

Six Mike-source photos imported, 2012-2018.

Standout traits

  • Looks 'between rosea and venosa' — phenotype intermediate
  • Reminds Mike of venosa-like Mobile Co AL roseas
  • Short, much smaller flowers than other roseas
  • Unique flower scent — sweet with a chemical hint
  • Hood has trichomes (back of hood); body smooth
  • Semi-dwarf — traps stay small and compact regardless of care; the only semi-dwarf rosea Mike has grown or heard of

Cultivation

Outdoor Northern California. Recovered after multi-year neglect via 2018 winter repot. Semi-dwarf trap size is genetic, not cultivation-fixable.
