sarracenia flava var. rugelii

Sarracenia flava var. rugelii '2AT GIANT' Okaloosa Co, FL

Okaloosa Co, FL

First described
2017

A slow-growing but giant-trap-and-lid rugelii from Okaloosa Co, FL. Strong breeding gene for proportionally huge lid character. 10 Mike photos (2017 + 2020).

Standout traits

  • Capable of large traps on relatively small rhizomes (1.5" rhizome → 1.5 ft trap)
  • Enormous, proportionally huge lid — genetic trait showing up in Mike's crosses
  • Well-defined red throat even on small/young plants
  • Slow growing — Mike (2020-05-07): 'SLOWER than a snail in terms of growth...GAH!'
  • Strong breeding gene for giant lid + giant trap traits

Cultivation

  • Slow grower — patience required.
  • Trap size scales beyond rhizome size — even small rhizomes produce disproportionately large traps.
  • Standard rugelii care.

Naming

Mike's '2AT GIANT' label — '2AT' likely refers to a specific collection / accession code (meaning unconfirmed in this thread). GIANT for the trap size potential.
