sarracenia oreophila

Sarracenia oreophila 'red lips' (Mike's selection)

First described
2013
Type
single clone named

Mike's selection with consistent red peristome coloration. Sun- dependent phenotype — emerged from years of obscurity after relocation to better light.

Standout traits

  • Consistent red peristome (lip) coloration (Mike, post #5, 2015)
  • Throat may color up under right conditions (suspected, observed in 2015 update)
  • Notable shape (Mike, post #1, 2013)
  • Required full sun + uncrowded position to express the red phenotype — for years it looked unremarkable while shaded by neighboring plants

Cultivation

Outdoor Northern California. Phenotype is sun-dependent — Mike rediscovered the clone after relocating it to a sunnier, less- crowded position in his collection.
