Cobra Lily Types: One Species, Two Populations, Redder vs. Greener

Only one species: Darlingtonia californica. But two main populations:

• Coastal (OR/CA coast)
• Mountain (inland, higher elevation)

Genetic variation = some redder, some greener. Mountain forms often easier (more conservative growth).

Growing Tips

• Slightly shadier than Sarracenia/flytraps.
• Consistently moist, not waterlogged.
• Conservative watering → roots outpace shoots.
• Crown at surface mustn't dry out.
