Sarracenia alata
Sarracenia alata is also known as the Yellow Trumpet pitcher plant which strikes me as odd since Sarracenia flava is a different species of trumpet shaped pitcher plant and "flava" is latin for yellow. Ironically, some of the most popular forms of this species among carnivorous plant aficionados are the clones that are extremely dark - almost black. The flowers are, however, still pale green to yellowish. Anyway, the flowers are pretty and I'm pleased at how my Sarracenia seem to have responded well to spending their winter in a cold frame that I built to attempt to simulate their needs for a winter in the US southeast US while out here in Colorado.
