Phyllodia awesomeness! Some Sarracenia produce these non carnivorous pitcher growth things called phyllodia – basically just flattened leaf-stalk-looking-thingmabobbers… S. oreophila, S. flava, S. leucophylla to name a few species, and their hybrids will throw these things up throughout the year. Typically as they approach dormancy. While trimming thru pitchers, I leave these things on as the plant uses them for photosynthesis during the dark winter months as well as during spring, when the plant jumps into growth.
A quick look at some phyllodia phreshness!
