I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post here to ask, but I figured it was better than gunking up the actual photo contest thread.
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.
Can anyone please explain the difference here? I’m super excited because my one and only Sarr is finally starting to put out what’s turning into pitchers, and I wanted to share, but I can’t tell why this is different? Why is one a flava even though it’s crossed and one isn’t? Is the ornata part of the flava group or something thus making both parents flava and okay or is there something else I’m missing? Sorry sorry, I’m gonna ask for a flashing n00b sign to hang under my name for Xmas.

Yes, the parents of the first one are a S. flava "rubricorpora" and a S. flava "ornata", same species but different varieties.
The second one's parents are S. flava and S. oreophila, two different species.

S. flava ornata and rubicorpora are naturally occurring varieties (Schnell, 1998)(*1)of the same species(flava), but morphologically distinct(in color, etc.). S. oreophila is a separate species of the genus sarracenia.
