Yellow trumpets is an herbaceous perennial with distinctive pitcher-shaped leaves that serve as a trap for insects. These leaves have reddish veins and nectar droplets that attract prey. Its flowers are notably large compared to the foliage and suspend from leafless stalks, each stalk bearing a single flower. The leaves' internal downward-pointing hairs hinder trapped insects' escape, aiding in their digestion through enzymes within the pooled water inside the pitchers. The flower's position and size, accompanied by the unique leaf structure and coloration, are key identifiers.
