I should have done my homework on plant requirements before I planted my bog. I have a very shaded yard without a really sunny spot. It seems that purpurea are more tolerant of lower light. I would like to offer these 3 plants for a northern variety of purpurea....thanks
I am not sure what the other 2 sarrs are but one is a sun starved minor.could be 2 minors.

You could put them in the front yard or a very very bright warm window.

I have huge oak trees in the front and I really cannot move them around all day. I don't have any windows that could accommodate these plants...if I don't get a trade these will probably be a giveaway....stay tuned

I'm new with Carnivorous Plants (since February) but my love for them is steadily increasing and am trying to increase my collection. I do have a s. purpurea that I could divide and trade with you but I would have to figure out how to divide it. I have not done a division yet and don't want to harm it.

That guy is still a little too small to divide. Give it a year and you should be good. It also looks very light-starved. You aren't keeping it on a windowsill, are you?

Awwww yeah he is in a windowsill

Is that why he's getting all green and not really veiny? I'm in the process of trying to work out getting an indoor setup with growing lights...hopefully soon!! I really want to expand my collection....I LOVE them all!! I want them inside because I love just looking at them...I know that must sound silly

Very few grow lights are both affordable and powerful enough to keep mature Sarracenia happy indoors (seedlings are fine for the first 2-3 years). I'd much rather have healthy plants outside than unhealthy plants inside reminding me that I'm growing them poorly.
