Sarracenia Lynda Butt
This hybrid was create by legendary carnivorous plant pioneer Adrian Slack (UK). The exact parentage is unknown, but it has features of Sarracenia flava and Sarracenia leucophylla. The lids are frilled and veined with a red margin. Pitchers are relatively tall, up to 24 inches, and slender. Slack named this plant after Lynda Butt who worked for him at his nursery in the UK, so this plant is relatively accessible in Europe. It is, however, very uncommon in the United States.
First appeared in publication "Insect-Eating Plants and How to Grow Them" by Adrian Slack in 1986.
