The crimson pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant in the genus Sarracenia which includes from eight to eleven species. It is found in wetlands in the southeast of the United States, particularly the Florida Panhandle The crimson pitcher plant is very similar to the white topped or white pitcher plant. The crimson pitcher plant grows in direct sun. The white pitcher plant grows in shadier areas At the top of the plant is the operculum, a hood that keeps rainwater out of the pitcher.
