Unidentified plant - Yellow Pitcher Plant ?

[WhiskyBottle]

Found two of these on the Somerset levels (Peat moors) a few weeks back. First thoughts was it was Pitcher Plant, but checking the books later the only UK one looks nothing like this. Best I can come up with is Sarracenia flava.

No habitation nearby so quess it's a deliberate introduction.



Nice find, even if it is 'planted'

It is Sarracenia flava - Yellow Pitcher Plant or 'Trumpets'.
Yes, all plants found in Britain were originally planted, but some colonies have persisted for many years. Probably the commonest and hardiest is Sarracenia purpurea.

I have just had a look at recent records and it looks as though your plants have been recorded.
