Natural hybrid of indiscernible ancestry. Although the conformation of this pitcher reminded me of many of the S. rosea hybrids, I only observed Sarracenia flava, S. leucophylla, and S. psittacina in the immediate vicinity of this plant. Blackwater SF, FL
When I visited the Green Swamp in early May, I saw flowers of Yellow Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia flava), but all of them were mature and had lost their petals. However, parts of the flower persist long after the petals are gone. Viewed from the backside, you can see 5 large yellow sepals, and above that are 3 small bracts.

I really like the long angler type appendage on this plant. ;)
