Today I was in the lab admiring this certain cross and it got me thinking about other 'Waccamaw' crosses. 'Waccamaw', although amazing and quite rare has been around for decades thanks to a handful of wizard growers who kept these unique genes going ( Thank you!, you know who you are) but you don't seem to see many hybrids containing these stellar genetics. Is anyone else growing any hybrids containing 'Waccamaw' blood? If so, I would love to hear about them. This cross is by far the most vigorous plants in all the flats at my place and the variation from plant to plant is quite amazing. I cant wait to see them mature. S.Flava var. rubricorpora Liberty Co Fl X S.'Waccamaw' 
Another lil one showing colour potential 'Waccamaw' X 'Blood Moon'

Hi kdawg - Nice looking little plants! I'd never heard of S. flava 'Waccamaw' before, but Wacca-wow! That's a very nice clone. I expect it would be quite expensive, but do you know anyone who is growing it and perhaps selling a division? I've got very little space for Sarrs, so I'm being super selective, and that one would be a daily pleasure in the summer. Thanks, and keep us posted on your progress with these little beauties! |

Amazing looking seedlings man! Can't wait to see what they're going to grow up to. Apoplast, kdawg and I have a piece of this as well two other members of this forum. You could probably argued there are more divions in Canada then in the states right now. It's a pretty epic plant. |

Looking forward to seeing their progress!

Thanks Apoplast. If any of these turn out amazing and register worthy can I use the cultivar name 'Wacca-wow'? I like that! As H20 mentioned there are a few around in Canada and I also read that California Carnivores sometimes has the odd division for sale but generally this clone is as rare as rocking horse manure. As ours mature we can touch base. If you are a selective collector, this clone is a must have in my opinion. I have doubts that any of the Waccamaw crosses will turn as stunning as the original but time will tell. If you are interested in reading about its history, Kiwipete did an awesome write up on the Sarracenia forum sarracenia.proboards.com/thread/361/flava-atropurpurea-gray-brook-updt

Hi H2O - I could have concluded that crafty Canucks might collude with Commonwealth cousins, Kiwis to competently cultivate charismatic clones!  Overdone alliteration aside, I should have known with so many skilled growers that have discerning taste in Canada it would be well represented there. I think on a per capita basis, Canada has way more CP growers than the States. Though, I'll admit I don't exactly live in an area where plant nerds roam free (i.e. there are very few in my region). If any of these turn out amazing and register worthy can I use the cultivar name 'Wacca-wow'? I like that! Hi kdawg - I would be flattered if I contributed to a hybrid you register! Glad you like it. As ours mature we can touch base. If you are a selective collector, this clone is a must have in my opinion. I don't know if I would describe myself as a "selective collector".  I simply don't have loos of grow space for Sarrs. Really wintering space is what is limiting. Most of my grow space is devoted to tuberous dews in a seasonal grow room, or for my highland room, epiphytic utrics (though I have been adding some highland Neps recently, mostly from seed). I'm making more space for Mexi Pings (thanks to the influence from some members here). But, I do want the few Sarr plants I grow to be something I can be proud of, and I'm willing to seek those clones out. You have convinced me Waccamaw is one of those clones! If you are interested in reading about its history, Kiwipete did an awesome write up on the Sarracenia forum Wait. kiwipete = kiwiearl?! So, not only is he an expert Ping grower, he is also an expert Sarr grower?! Man, I'm not even an expert in one thing. I need to get working on that. |

Hi kdawg - Oh, good. Now, I feel a little less unaccomplished.  |

I'm not an expert at growing anything The posts to this forum (like Dvg's pinguicula thread) are inspiration for me to do better. KP. |

For instance I wouldn't be surprised if my U. gibba is amongst the best in the world even though I make absolutely no effort to grow it. |

I don't know Lloyd... Even the pet rock I had ended up like this. |

Well maybe once I've done a full year of growing Sars, I might have to start looking for a 'waccamaw'. Beautiful plants! even the hybrids look promising |
