Sarracenia rubra has been putting out some decent pitchers in the latter part of the summer. This is subspecies wherryi, named after botanist Edgar T. Wherry, who did a lot of work on various species of Sarracenia. Native to restricted parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, it is also known as Wherry's sweet pitcher plant.

A cluster of pitcher plants, Sarracenia rubra. The pitchers display a striking gradient of colors, transitioning from bright green at the base to warm shades of yellow, orange, and deep red near the top. Each tube is topped with a hood-like lid that helps prevent rainwater from diluting the digestive fluids inside.

Moved my carnivorous babies into the mudroom temporarily to protect them from the oncoming deluge, which is supposed to last all weekend into Monday. I'll move them back outside afterwards, as I want them to get as much sunlight as possible before they go into winter dormancy.

A collection of carnivorous plants is arranged on a windowsill and a nearby wooden bench. There are several pitcher plants with tall, tubular leaves in various shades of green and red, as well as multiple Venus flytraps in lower, wider pots. A black bag hangs to the left of the window, and household supplies are visible on a wire rack to the right.

Unlike Sarracenia leucophylla, which grows its best pitchers late in summer, S. oreophila puts out a burst of new pitchers in the spring. Those pitchers are now dying back in preparation for winter dormancy. Smaller leaves at the base of the plant are phyllodia, non-trap leaves that nevertheless can photosynthesize.
