Sarracenia flava var. flava 'LEMON YELLOW' Brunswick Co, NC

Brunswick Co, NC

First described: 2019

A standout Brunswick Co flava that turns solid lemon-yellow head-to-toe — Mike's consolation prize after losing an imported S. 'Goldie' to extended shipping. Even phyllodia turn distinctly yellow. Highly waitlisted; ~18 Mike photos (2019-2025) + 3 xyu flic.kr links not mirrored.

Standout traits

Develops solid lemon-yellow color from head-to-toe under full sun
Behaves like S. 'Goldie' (Mike's reference)
Phyllodia turn distinctly yellow under full sun — much more so than the regular Brunswick Co flavas grown in the same conditions
Color deepens as traps age
Highly waitlist-restricted — xyu (2024) waited ~2 years and missed 3 times before getting a division

Cultivation

Full sun required for yellow expression.
Slow propagator — high demand, long waitlists.

Naming

Mike's working label — describes the unusually deep lemon- yellow color the clone develops head-to-toe. Mike's consolation after losing imported Sarracenia 'Goldie' to prolonged shipping (months in mail) — finally found a similar clone in his own collection.
