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

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.
