We went to the Natural History Museum and apparently they sell a lot of Venus Flytraps and carnivorous plants in the museum shops.
I was nervous to take home a living flytrap so I just got an assortment of pitcher plants. I didn't find anyone that day that could help me identify which species these Sarracenias were so I came here in the hopes that somebody could.
Do they require different care than Sarracenia Purpurea?

These were the three types that were different and really stood out from the rest.

It wasn't until I got home that I found out this poor thing was in dry soil.

The first looks somewhat like S. 'Dixie Lace' but is probably leucophylla x psittacina or something similar, the second could be S. rubra or a rubra hybrid, and the third is a purpurea hybrid.

I agree with Sermuncher, but the first isn't a 'Dixie Lace' more likely as he suggests a leucophylla x psittacina, it looks a but wilted, is it wet enough?
