Sarracenia 'Max Rawlings'

Description of Sarracenia 'Max Rawlings'

Chris Rawlins bred Sarracenia 'Max Rawlings' by crossing S. leucophylla with S. × catesbaei and germinating the seed in the Spring of 1990. Both parent plants were purchased from Adrian Slack's Nursery, Marston Exotics. The pitchers of 'Max Rawlings' can grow to a height of 70 cm and have green bases that gradually turn red-veined on a cream background near the mouth. As the pitcher ages, the red colour can extend all the way to the base.

The hood of the plant has downward-pointing hairs on the interior and undulates around the edge, with a very prominent upturned spur at the apex. In young pitchers, the hood is cream with heavy red venation, but as the plant ages, the background colour turns pink and eventually red, with deeper red veins.

The flowers are orange with a green umbrella and red petals and are borne on a stem that often has a waviness near the top.
