sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea

Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea 1AT 'red lid dominant' Okaloosa Co, FL

Okaloosa Co, FL

First described
2022

An Okaloosa atropurpurea where the lid consistently opens red even in off years — distinguishing trait from sibling atropurpureas which open greenish-red. Slightly dark throat. Mike + almightydolla photos show extreme phenotypic plasticity between outdoor and greenhouse culture. 6 photos (2022-2024).

Standout traits

  • Lid opens red even in off years (most Okaloosa atropurpureas open greenish-red and color with age)
  • Body fully solid red under good conditions
  • Floppy lid (possibly environmental — Mike hadn't seen this before 2022)
  • Slightly dark throat
  • Decades requested by other growers — Mike couldn't deliver pics until 2022
  • Extreme phenotypic plasticity — almightydolla's greenhouse-grown August color far exceeds Mike's outdoor expression

Cultivation

  • Phenotype shifts dramatically between greenhouse and outdoor cultivation (almightydolla 2024 mid-August color vs. Mike's outdoor — very different).

Naming

Mike's working label. 'red lid dominant' = even when the trap body doesn't fully color up (off years), the lid still opens red — distinguishing from sibling clones which can open greenish-red.
