Population overview
A population-level entry for Mike's St. Tammany Parish, LA alata collection. Multiple distinct clones, including atrorubras. The population's standout collective trait is winter persistence: through the 2024-2025 winter, traps survived torrential rains and multiple freezes and still photographed well in late March 2025.
This is a useful breeding-stock group for anyone targeting evergreen or cold-tolerant Sarracenia.
Individual entries from this population
- C0731 — alata 'golden Yellow' St. Tammany — standout for golden-aging trap color.
- C0784 — alata var. atrorubra 'dark red' St. Tammany — separate entry.
Standout traits
- Late-season trap longevity — traps still standing in March despite torrential rains and 'countless freezes' through winter.
- Mike's framing: useful breeding stock for evergreen-trap / longevity traits.
- Population includes some atrorubras — varietal mix typical for the parish.
- Strong winter persistence relative to most of Mike's collection.
Cultivation
Outdoor NorCal exposure across the 2024-2025 winter included torrential rains and multiple freeze events. Several traps from this population still photographed well in late March 2025 — a durable group. Mike calls out the breeding implication: select for the winter-persistent specimens if your goal is evergreen / cold- tolerant Sarracenia.
