I don't know jack She-yat about this flava, but apparently, it's very special and has an incredible history/story behind it. This plant originated from a site that no longer exists in the wild: in fact, many populations that far west in NC have also become extirpated. Here's the description of these genetics, word for word, from almightydolla, our resident flava expert. All thugged out, gangsta talk, along with severe profanities and discussions about possibly cappin some fools for talking smack about some unspecified mamas have been omitted...J/K:
"There were historic flava in Iredell [County, NC] and the next 3 counties West but I think only Iredell made it into [cultivation] the 70s and none of them made it to today. There's some hope though [In Iredell Co, NC, some fooz have] uncovered some purps hanging on. There might still be home flava hanging on in the drainages connecting that remaining purp site and the landowner is up for helping find some. The Iredell flava isn't very showy, but I gotta think that it's such a unique disjunct site that the genetics are so much more different than other flava."
After looking at the plant and pictures, even though this is from one of the western most locations for S. flava in the Carolinas, and being far...far away from the main populations, I'm not so sure this remaining clone physically looks much different than other flavas in the region, but you'd think it'd be very different, right? Maybe there are some differences on a genetic level.
Anyways, here's S. flava var. ornata Iredell Co, NC, (formerly known by MW as "Spookydell Co, NC" until it turned out it wasn't as scary as initially thought) pics taken 6/2/21:
Well, we'll see over the next coming years how this clone appears, and of course, I'll do my best to get this into circulation, given it's incredible importance and rich history.
