So I just went to my local nursery where I originally picked up my gorgeous and healthy nepenthes and they had a sad and sickly little guy that I'm pretty sure is a darlingtonia californica. He was there when I got my nepenthes and not doing super well so I decided to come back and check on him and when I did he'd gotten worse. I talked them down to a very low price so I could help him. I've attached a picture for identification. Am I correct or is it a sarracenia? They said it was a sarracenia but it looks more cobra lily-ey.
Does anyone know?

It's a sarracenia. Probably a flava or hybrid of that. In the autumn they produce noncarnivorous leaves called phyllodia (I think) that last over the winter. Hard to tell from the photo and I'm no Sarracenia expert but I think it looks fine. Just let it go through dormancy and it should wake up and do well in the spring.
