This is about the rarest plants I grow:

And this is about the nicest leuco I have (that is until the 'Titan' grows up!!

Here are a couple...

Beautiful pics you guys!

Well here are mine, though most people have probably seen them before.

Here's a freshly opened S. alata "nigrapurpurea". I actually wish it would stay this color instead of turning black-red. You can also see the antennae of a grasshopper on the far side. It soon became dinner for this plant.

Were did you get that, Mr. Sarracenia?

 

[Mike King]

Here are 2 different alata 'black tube' clones

and the other

 

[sarracenia]

Here's a bunch more:

This is alabamensis x (psittacina x alabamensis)

I don't know what this one is, probably a leuco x flava, maybe a 2nd generation, or with some backcrossing.

This is S. excellens x readii

A homely-looking flava x psittacina

This is the cultivar 'Ladies In Waiting' with some knocked over pitchers of something else.  The lg. veined lid behind them is a flava ornata x purpurea.

This is leucophylla x gilpini.

A bright and out of focus (sorry) leucophylla x wrigleyana.

The cultivar 'Mardi Gras'

S. rubra gulfensis x mitchelliana

An unknown, probably has flava and minor in it, and who knows what else, if anything.

Here's one of my unknown hybrids:

I did think it could be wriglyana x leucophylla or wriglyana x rubra, but after seeing Sarracenia's photos I'm stumped again!

 

[sarracenia]

It still could be. From any particular cross, you're going to get a wide range of appearances among the offspring, and even more variance if a hybrid is selfed.
That plant in the pic definitely has psittacina in it, based on the ala alone. The very rounded hood leads me to believe it has flava in it. What else, it's hard to guess really. It could be something along the lines of (flava x

) x psittacina, or flava x (psittacina x

). I guess I would lean towards the latter, because most hybrids I've seen that are 50% psittacina still have a somewhat closed-up and bent-over hood. Flower color could help somewhat.

I really like the plant though, nice coloration.

Impressive collection and pics everyone.

Here is my S. purpurea with a stupic cricket. I put this cricket in the terrarium this morning and now the cricket it just sitting in the pitcher. I don't think it has a clue as to what is going to happen to it.

Thanks Sarracenia (it's Aaron isn't it?)
I hate it when I don't know what's in a hybrid. Hopefully flower colour should help too, yes.

I tried to post a picture of my judith hindle but the picture kept coming up huge, how do I downsize the size of the picture?

Very nice pics everyone!

Ok Guys,
This is a hybrid I will register with the ICPS this winter. It will be an absolute hit. It is an excellens backcrossed with leucophylla and is at its best around Christmas time when virtually every other Sarra is looking very shabby.

It is called 'Diana Whittaker' after a friend who helped me in my earlier days of expanding my collection. The plant grows upto 2 1/2 feet tall and has spectacular Autumn (fall) pitchers
