FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I got some seeds from the seed bank last year that I germinated over winter. S. Wilkerson Red Rocket F2 x Red Sumatra. I assumed they'd probably be red but that wasn't really the case. I did get a seedling reminiscent of S. Minor with reddish windows on a plant but this guy is green. The crazy thing is it has a black mouth. Like Black black. I noticed it earlier in the year and thought it was odd but it's kept that trend with the last 3 or so. Pretty cool though. Tried to get a decent poc but the camera was kinda bad

Whoa, that’s really dark. It reminds of a forum member here trying to create the darkest sarracenia possible. I wonder how that project is going?

That's excellent. Clever because of the multiple meanings. I'll go with it and give you credit if we get there

That is weird. Almost looked like mold on the pitchers. Also I think you could get a better picture if you let the camera focus on the leaves and not what's behind it.

Yeah, when I first saw it a few months back I thought the same thing. I thought something got on the plant. I tried holding it at all distances, messed with the zoom at different distances. It's just a phone camera and I'm definitely not an expert. I kinda gave up and settled with those two
