International Carnivorous Plant Society

Designated by Peter D'Amato, California Carnivores, Forestville, CA. This selection is from a collection grown from seed from a Sarracenia oreophila population found near Sand Mountain, Alabama. These seedlings were grown by Bob Hanrahan of World Insectivorous Plants in the early 1980's and were widely distributed. They are known for their pronounced red venation and large mouths.

S. oreophila 'Don Schnell' is noteworthy for its highly veined tube and hood, and deep red throat, interior upper tube and lip. Mid-summer phyllodia are typical of the species. The cultivar is on display at California Carnivores nursery, Forestville, California, and is named for Donald Schnell, noted Sarracenia authority.

Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle'

Designated by Peter D'Amato, California Carnivores, Forestville, CA. This selection resulted from crossing Sarracenia (leucophylla x flava "rugelli") x S. purpurea "chipola". The cross was made by Alan Hindle in 1985. In S. 'Judith Hindle', the young trumpets are green, laced with yellow, with a green and white ruffled hood. They soon darken to deep plum red with white, yellow and green mottling in the hood. The paler coloration turns pink as the pitcher ages.

The cultivar is on display at California Carnivores nursery, Forestville, California, and is named for Judith Hindle, Alan's wife.
