Trader Joe

[upper]

i got this a couple of days ago, uprooted it, made like 6 division from it, and here's a picture for you professional to identify it if you can. thanks.

btw, on the bottom of the pot, it says cobra lily, but its obviousely not...

 

[Kayota]

nah, that's some kind of sarr

 

[NaRnAr]

so this is my first "take a guess" thing, so well see how I do with just a basic guess lol.

could it be some sort of S. minor since the hoods are down over the opening?

..again, dont go with what im guessing, its probably not right

 

[Capensis]

Um...my guess is either purp x flava or purp x minor o.o, buuut, I have no clue :3. It's very hard to identify exactly an unknown hyrbid, if you don't know, just label it Purp Hyrbid.

are you 100% sure purp is in this mix?

 

[Capensis]

Can't see it? Shape, ruffled and veined lid.

 

[upper]

most of my sarrs have ruffled and veined lid....

 

[Capensis]

Ok...but, that's a purp lid

Check out the ala on that baby. Looks rather purpish to me.prob some kind of complex hybrid , that is more than 2 or 3 species in the genetic make-up.
FYIThere is one large wholesaler who calls all pitcher plants, Cobra plants

 

[upper]

darn... i'll just tag it as purp complex hybrid?

 

[T-D]

My Trader Joes only has stupid orchids.... Not even good orchids just phaleonopsis.

 

[Nikki630]

I would go with a purp hybrid as well, but something no one has mentioned so far is that it has fenestrations -- so I would think some minor in there as well.

The lid is not curved over enough to lead me to believe any psittacinia

So I am going with S purp x minor -- of course it could be a complex hybrid then it is the 'who knows' species

 

[Clue]

I used to have a plant just like that. My guess is that it is S. purpurea x (purpurea x minor), because if it were S. purpurea x minor, it would stand more erect because of S. minor lineage.

 

[Nikki630]

I would certainly buy that it is a S. purpurea x (purpurea x minor) -- but it doesn't look THAT recumbent to me.

 

[Maxx]

It's the same one I got. I'm just gonna label mine Purpurea/Minor Hybrid.

*does a happy dance....i wasnt too far off!*

i wish we had a trader joes....we just have the whole foods and they have orchids mostly. I did fine a passionflower once! Not too many CP places around here.
