Origin
A S. jonesii population Mike labels "site#2" — distinguishing it from his other Greenville Co source ("site#1"). Mike's record-keeping convention: any un-labeled jonesii distributed by Mike is from site#1.
Standout traits
- Mostly red individuals with a few black-lipped clones.
- Slightly more curved lid morphology than site#1 in some clones.
- A greenish individual that looks anthocyanin-free but isn't, per Mike's read.
- One yellowish-lid individual.
Cultivation notes
Mike's deadheading recommendation for rubras (cut to ground at end of season for max next-year light) is documented here in the Dec 2024 update; mahlon contributes a pushback list for species that should retain late-season traps (purps, roseas, minors, psittacinas).
Standout traits
- Mostly red individuals with a few black-lipped clones.
- Slightly more curved lid morphology on some clones than site#1.
- One greenish individual that *looks* anthocyanin-free but isn't, per Mike.
- Includes one notably black-lipped clone (per Dec 2024 update).
- Yellow lid coloration on at least one individual — surprising for jonesii.
Cultivation
Per Mike (Dec 2024): rubras in general benefit from "deadheading" — cutting spent traps all the way to the ground at end of season — to maximize light for new pitchers. Forum-discussion (mahlon, post #6) cautions that purps, roseas, minors, psittacinas, and several decumbent hybrids do better retaining late-season pitchers until spring traps emerge.
