This is one of my first hybrids that I made. I am quite proud of it actually. It already colored up very dark. The shade pictures don't do the color justice. The pictures in the sun however do. My other dark colored sarracenia are still not at their full level of redness.
Since it is a hybrid between alata Red Lid Perry Co, MS, Phil Wilson A18 and flava var. atropurpurea Blackwater State Forest. Am I correct to label it an x alava then or what is the correct name for a hybrid like this?

Questo è uno dei miei primi ibridi che ho fatto . Sono molto fiero di esserlo realmente . E ' già colorato up molto scuro. Le immagini ombra non rendono giustizia colore . Le immagini al sole però fanno. I miei altri sarracenia colore scuro non sono ancora al loro pieno livello di rossore .
Poiché si tratta di un ibrido tra alata coperchio rosso Perry Co , MS , Phil Wilson A18 e flava var . atropurpurea Blackwater Forestale dello Stato . Ho ragione di etichettarlo una x Alava allora o che cosa è il nome corretto per un ibrido come questo?

Congratulations Koen! I think you are right if label it x alava. Simply because x alava means a cross between S. alata with a S. flava and viceversa, including the various subspecies.
Even if you already know, try to read this:

Congratulations you have created a wonderful plant ! It has a very dark red

Thanks for the link Picol. I found something sortlike elsewhere on the net but this list of hybrid names is so much bigger. It almost makes me want to make some more of my own hybrids. :-)

Thanks for the kind words nagini99. I really like the color myself as well. I always wanted a very red/dark sarracenia. I got a couple of rubricorpora and atropurpurea plants but they don't get this red. Especially not this early in the season. I wonder wether it'll color up even more in the next months or that this is the darkest it gets.
