Sarracenia xmoorei (Sarracenia flava x Sarracenia leucophylla) in habitat, Hybrid Pitcher Plant and White-topped Pitcher Plant in habitat, Blackwater River State Forest, Okaloosa County, Florida
These few photos provide a rare opportunity to observe newly emerged and late summer pitchers of Sarracenia flava hybrids simultaneously. usually by late summer the mature summer pitchers have faded or dried due to dry habitat conditions. This year (2013) most southeastern bogs have experienced record rainfall (compared to last decade) allowing for a late summer flush of new pitchers.
