The pitchers can be green to greenish yellow. The flowers tend to be large and are borne singly on stems though there may be several per plant depending on age/maturity. Borne in spring, just as the first pitchers are developing, these can be showy and some possess a distinct 'cat-pee' aroma! S. flava forms have always been very popular and make ideal starter subjects.

Sarracenia flava "Slack's Maxima"
Hardy in the U.K. so may be grown outside in a container or bog-garden but also makes a splendid houseplant when situated in a conservatory or very sunny window - helps to keep wasps & houseflies at bay too!
Remove all dead foliage as it occurs and stand in soft water throughout the summer, reducing watering during the dormant period so the growing medium is just damp. The plant will lose its pitchers in the Autumn as it approaches dormancy.
