Sarracenia leucophylla
Sarracenia leucophylla, also called pitcher plant, is an attractive carnivorous plant with a pol-forming habit. The plant blooms very early in the spring with large, scented, red flowers, which are mainly fertilized by bees. Once reproduction is guaranteed, the special leaves of the plant appear. These funnel-shaped cups are narrow and green at the base, higher up they are wider and have reddish brown veins, the funnel lid and funnel neck are white with red veins. The tube rim is very slippery and thanks to the strong scent of the nectar, insects are attracted, the lid prevents escape and the digestive enzymes in the cup liquid ensure that the insects can be absorbed as food. Sarracenia prefers a position in full sun.
