Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii f. luteola. Yeah. Type that 10 times fast without getting carpal tunnel syndrome! (S. purpurea ssp venosa var. burkii = S. rosea. Ah yes, the name game. A comprehensive run down of this is can be found in the FAQ’s of Barry Rice’s site.)
It’s an awesome plant and for more information, read about the history of this plant on the International Carnivorous Plant Society page about this friggin’ awesome plant. (Thanks Mr. Miller and Mr. Hanrahan!)
About a year or so ago, I received a few seeds from fellow grower friend, Chris Gussman. The seedlings are now showing some luteola-ness! Chris (Chris, correct me if I am wrong), crossed 2 of his S. rosea f. luteola plants and now the seeds are coming up over here pretty nice. I have hopes to propagate and distribute these plants (among others) in the future to ensure this plants survival. Thanks again Chris!

Oh, I like the pic! Love the darkness of it and of course the filthy fingers! Ha!
Thanks Jenn! Of course getting dirty is always part of the garden fun
