Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba 'Hurricane Creek White' (Baldwin County, Alabama) MK-L58BThe 'Hurricane Creek' cultivar name can be applied to Sarracenia leucophylla var. alba clones, or their seeds, that were found at the Hurricane Creek site in Baldwin County, Alabama. Sadly, the natural Hurricane Creek White site was ploughed to create a pine tree plantation, destroying the Sarracenia population. A few pockets of Sarracenia leucophylla may remain, but the most spectacular clones now only exist in hobbyists collections.

They transition to a deep burgundy

It is a fast-growing clone that forms large clumps of strong pitchers

inherited from Sarracenia leucophylla

creating a fanged effect

which explains its bright colouration

These translucent patches attract insects into the trap

while the speckled patterning and hairy interior reveal its psittacina lineage

The seeds that produced this clone were originally from Alan at Chruchtown Carnivores

especially near the front

and dense veining makes it a notable specimen

trumpet-like shape and recurved hood make them exceptionally efficient at trapping insects
