sarracenia flava var. maxima

Sarracenia flava var. maxima clone#3 Berkeley Co, SC

Berkeley Co, SC

First described
2021

A Berkeley Co maxima rescued from ~10 years of shade in a community tray. Now produces extremely yellow traps + lids under full sun. Probably not in circulation (per Mike, 2021). 6 photos (single 2021 season, 2 dates).

Standout traits

  • Most yellow traps Mike has ever seen from this exact clone (after re-potting from a community tray after ~10 years of being shaded)
  • Lid yellows up dramatically (Mike 2021-07-25)
  • Vigorous insect-feeder
  • Color expression depends heavily on full sun + recent re-potting

Cultivation

  • Color suppressed when shaded by other plants in community tray; full color expression after isolation + repot.
  • Color not at full potential immediately post-division — Mike noted improvement over multiple years.
