In very wet and warm conditions, it can grow over 3 feet. It has yellowish green pitchers, and a rounded hood that arches over the opening. The hood is frequently tinted bronze or pink in full sun, and can be more colorful than S. minor. Rows of small white areoles (windows) dominate the upper back portions of the tubes. It tends to form colonies up to 3 feet across. S. minor okefenokeensis is very showy, and superficially resembles the California Cobra Lily. The flowers are mildly fragrant (watermelon scented) and pale yellow-green. They generally bloom from March to May while producing pitchers. Flower stalks and sepals last through the year, resembling green daffodils. Pitchers can persist and hold their color into light winters. It is native to the Great Okefenokee Swamp o
