Santa Rosa Co, FL

First described
2019
Type
population

A 'okee-giant of the rubra world' — gulfensis population that can produce ~3' tall traps with much less anthocyanin than other gulfensis populations. Wild plants grow partially submerged. 16 Mike photos (2019-2023).

Standout traits

  • Abnormally gigantic — traps can reach ~3' tall
  • Mostly green — much less anthocyanin than other Mike gulfensis populations
  • Wild plants grow partially submerged
  • Multiple clones in Mike's accession
  • Mike (2023): repotted/divided in 2022, established and ready to 'explode' in 2023

Cultivation

  • Mike grows like all rubras: NOT sat in water for long periods (despite the wild plants being aquatic).
  • Years undivided + neglect can still produce giant traps.
  • Tucked into leucophylla row when rubra space ran out (2022-10).
