Sold as a dormant purpurea by Bug-Biting Plants in a package with a dormant Fly Trap (that will most likely never germinate, from what I'm told). The developing pitchers certainly don't look like a pure purpurea to me. Perhaps a mislabel or a hybrid of some sort?

Nope not a purp. It may be a sarracenia rubra.

1 was a Scarlet Belle though, we shall see

definitely not a purpurea, they tend to grow horizontally. unlike that one which grows vertically.

it does look a bit like my juvenile dormant sarracenia leucophylla.

I've had a few folks tell me they bought the same kit, and the Sarracenia turned out to be rubra rubra. I'm gonna have to agree that this plant definitely seems to be following suit.

I just got a few of those kits, good to know what they'll probably be.

Sorry for vanishing. Life happened. Might vanish again.

Its most likely a rubra. I got one 2 years ago from that same kit from them with the 1 vft bulb and 1 sarr bulb.

I got one about 4 months back and it was a rubra, not a purp
