Sarracenia flava Dashiel Penfield

In 2022, we acquired a collection of plants that was owned by Dashiel. In the collection was this unlabeled plant. At first, we thought it was S. flava atropurpurea Waccamaw but grown in poor lighting. It had an orange exterior and a yellow interior. After a growing season, we realized that it wasn't that cultivar. However, it's likely that it was a self-cross of Waccamaw since it shares similar features of known Waccamaw self-crosses - 12-inch tall pitchers with light orange colors, dark orange veins and hood, and a yellow lip.

This plant may not stand out in a sea of flashy Sarracenia hybrids. However, it has a sweet and gentle presence with subtle colors. Kind of like Dashiel Penfield. With no other record of this plant, we decided to name it after him.
