Sarracenia 'Blackadder'Looking for a Sarracenia that's as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University? You've come to the right place. Sadly, I doubt this lovely plant has anything to do with Edmund Blackadder but rather the stunning dark tones produced by its carnivorous pitchers. This is a great looking Sarracenia. Although not a monster in size it does produce nice sized chunky pitchers. But the real beauty of Sarracenia

Sarracenia 'Adrian Slack' is a carnivorous plant named in tribute to the renowned Sarracenia grower

is a hybrid of Sarracenia flava and Sarracenia leucophylla

held open to expose the throat and upper tube

The leucophylla is a pubescent form and that 'fuzziness' has been passed on

The pitchers have a copper-ish hue to them which is really lovely

often matching the deep red of the rest of the pitcher

The 'Triton' has a very specific appearance

Although at first glance it appears to be a pretty Sarracenia leucophylla

arguably one of the best created and certainly one of our favourites
