Hello everyone, I’d like to know what you’d choose

I am making an order. This is what I have in mind for my list:

Flava var Rugelii green veins
Leucophylla x willisii
Rubriocopora
Leucophylla Ruby Joyce
Catesbei
Purpurea Venosa

I can make three new purchases. I’ve got Flava rubricorpora and Leucophylla Ruby Joyce locked in

I also want to get another sarracenia to make 7 in total, but I’m conflicted between psittacina giant and Flava x oreophila. What would you choose?

The leuco x willis will probably give you some good coloration.

For the second choice I would definitely go with the psittacina giant. The Flava x Oreo I have is generally unremarkable, looking like a regular flava that just grows phyllodia for two seasons. Although each cross has potential to be unique I would not be surprised for the oreo genes in any given one to favor phyllodia leaving you with good looking pitchers for only a short time. This is also the case for my Leuco x oreo's ...Although they have potential for more interesting pitchers they only last until it starts growing it's signature oreo phyllodia again.

The sarracenia I currently have are Flava rugelii, Leucophylla x willisii, purpurea and catesbei.

Yup, I ended up getting rubricorpora, psittacina giant and Leucophylla Ruby Joyce. Thanks for the help guys
