Is it a natural occurring plant?

Yes it is, these plants are anthocyanin free and are natural mutations

It depends. SFLguy is right in that there are naturally found antho free plants in the wild but he has no way of knowing if what you're talking about is naturally occurring.

Sarracenia is the genus, there are many species of Sarracenia and there are antho free cultivars of most of the species. In addition to that there are many Sarracenia hybrids that are antho free that are the result of breeding.

Is there a specific plant you're referring to?

I wasn't saying it happened in the wild (which I'm sure it does) I was saying that it happened naturally, they only way you wouldn't find it in the wild is if you are referring to a specific clone (which could be introduced into the wild) or a hybrid of two species who's ranges don't overlap

There are antho free plants of all species and supsp. except for oreophilas

Hmm I didn't know that, is that because they are limited to such a small area and therefore haven't made the mutation or simply because they are incapable of being antho free?

There is also flava var maxima, which is green but not antho free, I assume your question relates to antho free forms. As Goodkoalie said there are naturally occurring antho free forms of all Sarracenia except oreophila and a lot of hybrids too.

I was talking about a Sarracenia Flava all green form.. Sorry I should have been more specific.

I've seen several genetically unique plants(at least in photos) and I believe most are from wild locations. I'm assuming your question was whether or not these plants occur in the wild?

Yes that is my question

Yes they do.
