sarracenia flava var. cuprea

Sarracenia flava var. cuprea 'Clone A' Brunswick Co, NC

Brunswick Co, NC

First described
2013
Type
single clone

Origin

Wild-locality cuprea from Brunswick Co, NC, distinct from the Cartaret / Onslow populations by earlier flowering. Mike's introductory thread (2013) is the only Mike-source documentation of this specific clone.

Standout traits

  • Orange-ish lid color
  • Fine pin-stripe veining
  • Early flowering relative to other NC flavas
  • Excellent symmetric trap shape (per rmeyer's grow)

Standout traits

  • Almost orange-ish coloration to the lid (Mike, post #1, 2013)
  • Lots of pin-stripes / fine veining (audacityofthemind914 comment, 2017)
  • Earlier flowering than Cartaret Co / Onslow Co flava populations
  • Best shape of all rmeyer's cupreas (post #7, 2020); but color fades through the life of the leaf in his climate

Cultivation

Mike's plants were divided in winter 2021; the 2022-07 photos show the lower-color expression typical post-division.
