Sarracenia flava ornata (SG)
Of all the varieties of Sarracenia flava, ornata stands out from the crowd like a movie star. Unlike other forms of this species, the ornata form has thick red pinstripes against an orangey-yellow background. Foliage is tall and broad in optimal conditions. A wide, orangey lid exposes a blood-red throat patch in the interior of a generous, yellow-rimmed mouth. Taking a look at this variety up close, you can see heavy amounts of honey-like nectar, oozing plentifully in anticipation of its most common prey - yellowjackets and flies. The random form is seed grown with multiple growth points and has red veins; the Bulloch County is from division and has reddish brown, almost black, veins.
Current batch contains seed-grown plants from open-pollination. The seeds came from Sarracenia flava ornata (Bullock County, clone C). We selected only those plants that exhibit ornata features, which will fulfill the varietal labeling.
Appearance will differ from plant to plant. Selection is done randomly. Last two photos show the parent plants.
