Yellow Pitcher Plant is one of the tallest pitcher plant species, with yellow-green pitchers reaching 3 feet and producing large, nodding yellow flowers with a mushroom-like smell. It grows in the longleaf pine savannas and Carolina bays of the southeastern Atlantic coastal plain. Like all pitcher plants, it obtains nitrogen from insects that fall into the fluid-filled pitchers.
