Saraccenia x โYellow Birdโ is a remarkable hybrid from the trumpet pitcher family. This plant consists of a rosette of specially formed leaves that are able to catch insects. Leaves are tubular with on top a pitcher lid which contains many down-facing hairs to guide insects in their traps. The pitcherโs edge, also known as the peristome, is extremely slippery, even insects are not able to keep their hold. The variety โYellow Birdโ is known for its lime green to faint yellow pitchers. Grown in correct conditions, pitchers could grow larger than half a meter in height. Pitcher plants could produce flowers in summer. With this hybrid, flowers are yellow as well. Flowers are carried by long inflorescences, to avoid accidentally consuming their valued pollinators. This plant is propagated by division of mature plants or sowing ripe seeds.
