Here are a couple of shots of one of my favorite American Pitcher Plants -- Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora, a variety from Apalachicola, Florida.
Strangely enough, I have a few others whose deep red color will not be expressed until late Summer or Early Fall, even though all are grown identically (one is clearly visible to the left in the larger photo); but this one -- even with the late, colder Spring we've experienced in California -- is coloring up nicely and has always been the first to do so. Even the phyllodia from last Winter are attractive enough to remain . . .
