The first thing noticeable about "Funky Flower" is the red splotch on the back of the throat of the pitcher. The rest of the pitcher is neon yellow, with tiny red veins running throughout the upper parts of the trap and the heavily wavy lid. The flower, which it is named after, is quite lovely, sporting long pastel-pink petals. After pollination, it arches upward to face the sky, in a bit of a funky way. Late season traps can be heavily veined - almost appearing orange if given enough autumn sun.

    Unbelievable pitcher at least 20 inches tall and sprouting smaller ones at the base. Very happy with my order arrived safe and beautiful. This plant devours large wasps and hello jackets. I look forward to future business with you guys.
