Yeah, I know. I'm showing my age with that phrase, but still that is what this month's contest is all about. Those tubes of terror, those pipes of peril, those sinister cylinders, SARRAAAACENNNNIAA. (Cue the WWE crowd cheering).
Okay, enough of my goofiness. This month we are looking for sarracenia species only, not hybrids. That means that a S. flava rubricorpa x ornata is fine. It is still a flava. A S. flava x oreophila is not as it is a interspecies cross. Before you think I am ignoring crosses, they get their own special place next month. Back to the contest at hand. In addition to being a photo of a Sarracenia species, the following rules apply:

From the FlytrapStore website:
S. flava var. ornata "light vening" is a gorgeous variety of Sarracenia flava. This particular clone exhibits "light veining" and can produce pitchers over 30 inches in height with beautiful red veining running the length of the pitchers and into the hood. It also has a very distinctive dark red sploch on the throat of the pitcher. It's a real eye catcher!
Sarracenia flava, also known as the Yellow Trumpet pitcher plant, is a highly-varied species of Sarracenia. S. flava var. ornata varies a lot in the intensity of its veining. This particular clone we're offering displays "light veining" which provides a gorgeous delicate tracing of the primary veins on the pitchers.
Sarracenia flava var. ornata produces bright yellow flowers in the spring as it puts up its first pitchers of the year. Like all S. flava, most of the growth occurs in spring and early summer, tapering off by fall.
Alright, let's see those pitcher pictures, and get ready to rumble!
