Classic flower:
The creamy, pale flowers of Sarracenia alata remind me of the faded white
you see on antique lace. I think the effect is divine. A bouquet
(or, "bokays" as the vulgar would spell it, alas) would
make an excellent wedding choice--and no cat urine smell like from Sarracenia flava.
Mind you, regarding
Sarracenia and wedding colors, I know what I'm talking about: Beth and I timed our late-summer wedding
to occur when Sarracenia leucophylla leaves look their best--our wedding colors were
cream-white and red (per S. leucophylla leaf coloration), and large specimens1 were on
each table. Romantic or geekeola? Perhaps both?
While Beth photographed her beloved Pinguicula (the genus occupies a soft spot in her heart) and some gone-by
Sarracenia flowers that intrigued her, I searched for an oddity...I was looking for
something in particular...
1No Sarracenia were harmed in the making of our wedding.
