Sarracenia flava
Found from Alabama (probably also in Mississippi), east into Florida and up the coastal plain to Virginia with occasional outlying populations. Trapping insects in the trumpet-shaped leaves is an adaptation to  nutrient-poor soil conditions of wet or frequently flooded areas in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Insects are lured into the slippery waxy portion of the upper pitcher tube by attractant odors and then slide down a coating of ultra-fine, downward point hairs, hitting the digestive enzymes. Bog gardens.
  • Uncommon edible fruit
  • Fruit attracts wildlife
