sarracenia alata

Sarracenia alata 'DEEP RED'

First described
2019

A no-locality alata (probably LA or MS per Mike's guess) with deep-red fall trap expression and a striking yellow-back contrast. 3 Mike photos (single 2019-11-28 post).

Standout traits

  • Deep red trap expression in fall
  • Yellow back of trap — 'molten gold on a brick surface' per hcarlton (2019)
  • Colors up only in fall when temperatures drop and light intensity stays high

Cultivation

  • Color expression seasonal — fall only.

Naming

Mike's working label — describes the deep-red trap expression in fall. Mike (2019) initially speculated a relationship to the parental clone of S. 'Black Widow' (Phil Faulisi); philcula (2019-12-06) corrected: 'Black Widow' used a basic rubrioperculata form (green tube, black throat), distinct.
