Naiad

When I started breeding Sarracenia back in the 1990’s I had nothing like the selection of forms and colors that reside in the collection now.  There were, however, a few fine plants and two of these were S. x Redman, a S. rosea x flava hybrid and S. oreophila “sand mountain” x flava.  Genes from both plants run through a lot of my hybrids.  When I crossed these two plants together they produced a lot of pretty, mostly medium height offspring in a wide range of colors and shapes.  The best plants were selected from hundreds of seedlings and are now named for the moons of Neptune. 

#7 Naiad is a wide hooded yellow cultivar with S. flava ornata type veining and a striking red cross in the throat.
