Mike's Autauga Co alabamensis — yellow lid, wavy lids, coppery blush. ESA-listed; 2-foot trap potential.

Standout traits

  • Can produce 2+ ft tall traps under optimal conditions (Mike, post #1, 2015)
  • Yellow lid color expression
  • Wavy lids + coppery blush on pitcher bodies (sleepysarracenia, post #5, 2016)
  • Strong summer-pitcher production (atypical — Mike originally thought only fall traps)
  • Mike lost the biggest-trap clone to rot 2014 (over-watering); saved a side shoot — preservation continued

Cultivation

  • Outdoor Northern California; rubra-line root sensitivity.
  • Don't sit in standing water — even shallow water for short periods OK; deep/extended → rot.
  • Grow like S. leucophylla / S. oreophila: keep soil moist but not flooded.
