Man, if you are going to share these cool names, you should at least share pictures. :D

I went eBay hunting for those two. I had to Google the alata plant to see what it looks like (on the rhizome that I received, the pitchers are clipped at 3 inches tall). Here is a pic of the alata, and here is a pic of the flava.

The eBay seller (in New Jersey) still has 3 of the alata divisions left, if you want one. Another seller in California has them, too. The flava v. atropurpurea plants aren't commonly for sale and take a bit of timing and luck to get one.

By some miracle, the planets aligned perfectly, and I was able to get my hands on some Sarracenia oreophila! They only have phyllodia now, can't wait for the first pitchers to appear.

I also added two Venus flytraps cultivars: BCP Titan and SD Draco.

Updated the list with Sarracenia rosea - Chipola, Florida.

I just bought 3 of these from Lee's Botanical Garden in Labelle, Florida. They were only $8 each (sold as "purpurea venosa var rosea Chipola"), and the plants were much bigger than I expected. Most other places would sell them for $20 a pop.

Congrats!! This is one of the best giant clones to come out of the EU, in my opinion!
