Origin
Natural-hybrid plant from Old Dock, Columbus Co, NC — parentage S. purpurea ssp. venosa × S. flava var. flava. Mike's collection includes both parent populations from the same locality (see C0049 and the Snead's-Ferry Onslow flava entry for context on Mike's NC populations).
History
- 2012-05-24 — Mike's first thread post. Lime-green plant; Mike's appreciation noted as growing
- 2012-10-11 — body coloration starting to develop red; Mike notes "the body of the pitchers can turn even more red than this — it just started coloring up about a week ago"
No further Mike updates in this thread.
Standout traits
- Classic x catesbaei (purpurea × flava) shape
- Lime-green default color, develops red body in fall
- Single-individual elegance vs. typical multi-clone catesbaei diversity
