Origin
An S. rosea clone from Okaloosa Co, Florida with anomalous yellow trap color. Mike's working hypothesis: historic introgression with S. flava that has been back-crossed sufficiently that only the color betrays the mixed ancestry [VERIFY] — trap shape is pure rosea.
Standout traits
- Yellow trap color in some years; solid pink to reddish in others.
- Color toggle is not yet attributed to a specific environmental cause.
- Pure rosea morphology despite the yellow color.
Cultivation notes
Always grown in full sun; the yellow ↔ red shift remains unexplained. "When grown for Jesus" (Mike's idiom for highest-quality care) the clone presents very well.
Standout traits
- Yellow trap color in some years; solid pink to reddish in other years.
- Color shift not tied to obvious environmental factors — Mike notes the plant is always grown in full sun.
- Pure rosea trap shape — flava ancestry not obvious from morphology alone.
Cultivation
Always grown in full sun; the yellow ↔ red color shift is not yet correlated with a specific environmental cause. Mike says it looks "pretty niiiice" when grown to high standards ("for Jesus" — Mike's idiom for top-tier horticultural care).
