Sarracenia Funky Flower

The first thing noticeable about "Funky Flower" is the red splotch on the back of the pitcher’s throat. The rest of the pitcher is neon yellow, with tiny red veins running through the upper parts of the trap and the heavily wavy lid. In spring, this plant produces flowers with long, pastel-pink petals. Shortly after blooming, it arches upward to face the sky, a unique trait of this plant. So, we always referred to it as "that plant with the funky flower." Late-season traps can be heavily veined—almost appearing orange if given enough autumn sun.

ABOUT MATURE DIVISIONS
After we divide our mother plants, we allow the rhizomes to mature for at least one full growing season, sometimes two, before including them in our inventory. You get a much more vigorous and robust plant than one that has been recently divided.
