Origin
An S. flava var. ornata clone in Mike's collection combining black- veined ornata patterning with the extreme-red-throat (ERT) trait. Specific wild origin not stated in this thread [MISSING].
Standout traits
- Crystal-clear veining outside, darkening toward black as traps age.
- Extreme red throat — combined with the venation makes this a "best of both worlds" clone.
- Easy to grow, vigorous, productive year over year.
- Striking even at immature size.
- High lid density / "mad amount of lids" (June 2023 update).
Cultivation notes
Vein detail is environmental: more pronounced when the plant is left undisturbed multi-season.

- Easy to grow, vigorous, productive.
- Even immature plants are striking.
- 'Mad amount of lids' — unusual lid morphology / high lid density (Mike's June 2023 update).
Cultivation
