Carnivorous Plant Yellow or Trumpet Pitcher Plants Sarracenia flava var rugelii Florida USA
Trumpet Pitcher Plant Sarracenia flava. Close view of the lid of this insect-eating plant. The red splotches on the "throat" of this lid help attract insects to the plant trap. The lid keeps rainwater from collecting inside the hollow tubes and toppling them over. Florida by Carol Dembinsky / Dembinsky Photo Associates www dpaphoto com .These carnivorous plant traps can occur in great abundance where the proper habitat exists within their range. Widespread housing and commercial development, fire suppression, drainage of land, and other factors have reduced this plant's habitat greatly along the Gulf coastal plain of the southeastern united states.
