Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.34:27 (2005)
"Unlike most [Sarracenia moorei {Hort.Veitch ex Mast.}] crosses, it displays unbelievable hybrid vigor. The original genet measured over two meters (six feet) across with more than fifty pitchers; the tallest of these measured 130 cm (50 inches) tall, while the heights of the majority of the other pitchers measured between 86-97 cm (34-38 inches). The average lateral measurement of the hood was 17 cm (6.5 inches). In addition to its gigantic proportions, this hybrid is outstanding because of its stunning coloration. The lower three quarters of the pitchers are lime green, and the pitcher tops are lemon yellow with large areoles and light red veining. The ala is lined in red. The nectar roll is pronounced, undulated and mottled with red; this pigmentation becomes more solid near the column, and forms a throat blotch typical of the [Sarracenia flava var. rugelii {(Shuttlew. ex A.DC.) Mast.}] parentage. The lid is particularly colorful with an overall pale yellow color (verging on white) with regularly spaced strong red veining throughout. From a distance the lid takes on a peachy golden cast. The edge of the lid is edged in red and ruffled, typical of the [Sarracenia leucophylla {Raf.}] parent. This hybrid produces most of its pitchers in the spring - obviously an influence from the [Sarracenia flava {L.}] in its ancestry. In cultivation, these spring pitchers regularly reach 86-91 cm (34-36 inches) in height. A second flush of pitchers is also produced in the fall, and as in [Sarracenia leucophylla {Raf.}], these pitchers are even larger, measuring up to 96 cm (38 inches) tall."
