Hooded Pitcher Plant
Sarracenia minor
The Hooded Pitcher Plant is known – unsurprisingly – for its rounded hoods that partially cover the top of each pitcher. These hoods are typically red with white speckles (areoles) along the back. This species is native to coastal regions of the Southeastern U.S.
