Hello!

I've been growing an unknown Sarracenia species for a few months now. It's about to be Autumn where I'm from and it finally decided to grow out a pitcher!

The pitcher is quite small since its a small plant that I got for $9. Looking at the colours and patterns is it safe to assume that it is a Leucophylla? I have read that Leucophylla sends out its best pitchers in Autumn.

Thanks!

I'm not a Sarr expert (yet), but it looks more Flava than Leuco.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

I think it’s a hybrid. Maybe lueco x purp? Not sure if the shape of the hood is just because it’s a small plant though.

It's a hybrid with leuco in it but it's too young to have an authoritative guess at, at the moment.

Being a hybrid, it may follow the leucophylla traits and have late pitchers, or whatever the other parents' traits are.

Cheers

Well it looks like both. I bet that it is going to turn out a S. x Moorei.

Doesn't look like a Moorei to me -- IMO it looks more like leucopphylla x purpurea like @sanguinearocks101 guessed.

Hello!

My small Sarracenia has decided to grow another pitcher again. This time it has more defined features that will help identify it better I think.

I know the post has been made over a week now but I don't how old a post can be before I'm unable to reply to it. Hopefully, this one isn't

Thank you!

Looks like a leucophylla x purpurea cross with maybe something else in there.
