Origin
A young S. flava var. rugelii batch acquired by Mike from Jeremiah Harris, originating from Okaloosa Co, Florida. The "JH319" label combines Jeremiah's initials with what Mike speculates is either an internal accession number or an aesthetic flourish.
Standout traits
- Tall traps despite small rhizome size — classic giant signal.
- Already shows well-defined red throats as young plants, unusual for rugelii (most produce a faint "lame line" until traps reach maturity).
- One individual exhibits a coppery lid.
- Coming from Jeremiah Harris implies a selected/curated source.
Cultivation notes
Mike treats this batch as promising long-term, while noting that only a handful of rugelii clones perform well year over year in cultivation.
Standout traits
- Tall traps relative to small rhizome size — possible giants as they mature.
- Well-defined red throats *as young plants* — unusual for rugelii (most produce a 'lame line' at neck center until traps size up).
- One individual already shows a coppery lid.
- Coming from Jeremiah Harris (experienced breeder) — selection pedigree implied to be strong.
Cultivation
Young plants as of mid-May 2023; Mike treats this as a promising future- giant batch. Most rugelii clones don't perform well year over year — Mike expects only a handful of these to succeed long-term.

Naming
"JH" = Jeremiah Harris's initials. "319" = accession number from Jeremiah's records (or an aesthetic add — Mike unsure).
