Larry’s home sarracenia collection Sarracenia ‘Red Bug’ In 2021, Larry was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Carnivorous Plant Society…one of many such awards Larry received.
His “little bug” series, (Sarracenia ‘Lady Bug’, ‘June Bug’, ‘Love Bug’, and ‘Red Bug’, released in 2004, was the first widely marketed collection of pitcher plants, from his breeding work with the late Rob Gardener. Larry was best known worldwide for his work with carnivorous plants, particularly with the genus Sarracenia. He was constantly dropping off new plants for us to propagate and share with a wider audience. Larry was a huge advocate of interesting plants, especially US natives. Not only did Larry teach for 38 years (1976-2014) at UNC-Charlotte, but he also managed the 10-acre UNC Charlotte Botanical Garden, which he turned into a must-see horticultural destination.
Even while he was ill, his wit remained razor sharp, and his humor as dry as the Sahara desert. Knowing that Larry was in the battle of his life, we visited him at his wonderful Charlotte home garden last year (photo below). Over the next 45 years, we interacted regularly, mostly during his visits to JLBG. I first met Larry in the late 1970s, when he spoke to our Horticulture Club at NC State.
