Last night I stratified Sarracenia seed for spring and realized that I
have lots of seed left over. The left over seed are free, well almost
free. If you live in the US, I'd appreciate receiving $2 to cover
postage and a padded envelope. If you live outside the US, it truly is
free.
Here's my other request. I'm looking for more Darlingtonia seed. And
you say, still! Yes, because I really screwed up with some of the seed
people sent earlier when I accidentally left potted seed out in a
rainstorm. Argh!
I guess there is a third request. If you have seed to trade, we can
talk but believe me, it is absolutely not necessary and I will not think
less of you if you don't.
So, here's the list. Choose as many as you like. W means wild
collected.
S. alata
W-- Jackson County, Mississippi, across from Graceland Baptist Church
green with burgandy highlights
W-- Ocean City, Mississippi, across from Jesus Christ Baptist Church
green with burgandy highlights
W-- Jackson County, Mississippi at the Alabama, Miss state line on Hwy
9?
(will look that up to be sure). This may be a hybrid swarm
with
S. leucophylla, although I saw only one true leucophylla in the
field.
There is a great deal of variation in pitcher coloration, from
brugandy
to green, some with fenestrations on the hood, some without.
Quite striking.
S-- selfing of alata's in my bog
S. purpurea venosa
W-- Jackson County, Miss (not a lot of seed)
S. psittacina
W-- Miramar Beach, Florida.
These psitts are very large and very red
-- Walton County, Florida
These psitts are smaller, more green, but turned red in the fall
S. flava
W-- Miramar Beach, Florida
** red tubed
** red veined
These are fabulous. Some seed come from plants with red
pitchers, some come from plants with heavily red veined
pitchers. A few
plants are green to lightly veined so you're likely to get a
mix. However,
I've separated the seed according to whether it came from a red
tubed
plant or a red veined plant.
-- Walton County, Florida
This is the cutthroat or rugelii form with a very broad, full
marroon blotch
where the hood meet's the pitcher's column. Very large plants.
some W-- Dorchester County, South Carolina
This is also a cutthroat or rugelii form but the blotch is not
as full and the
plants are smaller than the Walton County flava's.
S. leucophylla
W- Crestview, Florida
A standard leucophylla
W- Walton County, Forida
A standard leucphylla
-- Avalon Beach, Florida, plant came from Orgel's
S. minor
W-- Lighthouse Road, Berkeley County, South Carolina
A standard minor
W-- Dorchester County, South Carolina
A standard minor
S. hybrid
-- Walton County, Florida, definitely has flava parentage. My guess
is that it's
flava x purpurea then back to flava a time or two. The plant is
almost
erect with a slight curve to the pitcher. The pitchers have
more bronze
and the flowers have some bronze compared to the yellow of a
true flava.
