Cheers!

Mando these are what they may be ! not all ways easy to tell , these are in lowish light and have not coloured up as they should.
1 N. ventrata
2 N.maxima or crosseed with something colour not quite right !!
3 N. ?? uppers are just to hard to tell they get to out of shape they all look the same ! but possible Maxima !!
4 N. ventrata again !
5 N. Maxima x lowi x ventricosa or maxima x xrtusmadiansis ?? very similar some times !!

Sarras
1 .S hybrid one or the many hybrids that are around multi crosses parent is usually S.purpurea .
2 who knows !! low light S. minor or minor x some thing ??
3 S.purpurea x willsii possible !!
4 S.scarlet bell
5 S. purpurea venosa more that likely !1

about what I reckon ! may be some one else to have a go too !!

3) Maxima or Khasiana (looks ALOT like my uppers)
4)Yes another ventra with more color
5) could be maxima x ventricosa (looks like mine, I don't think it has anything else in it)
6)purpurea
7)purpurea x psittacina
8)purpurea x flava(catesbaei), or purpurea x alata
9)s courtii???? same a purpurea x psittacina color and shape may vary

is something I´ll keep at a reference to buy or care them)

Thanks a lot!!!

Sarr 1 is some kind of purpurea (purpurea ssp venosa or purpurea ssp purpurea most likely), but you can't tell from that photo. If the flower it makes has a red or red/green belly, it's purpurea ssp purpurea. If the belly of the flower is yellow or off-white, it's an ssp venosa, or possibly ssp venosa var. burkii (see Sarr 5 for more epic confusion).

Sarr 2 I'm fairly sure is rubra x psittacina (S. x gilpinii). If not, there's definitely psittacina in there somewhere.

Sarr 3 is an x catesbaei (= purpurea x flava natural hybrid - here's a pic of mine: http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/downl ... hp?id=4700, and here's another with stronger red veining like yours: http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16 ... 0031-9.jpg).

Sarr 4 isn't a scarlet belle; but it does look like a psittacina x rubra ssp. wheryi. It could be an S. courtii (= purpurea x psittacina) that hasn't gotten enough light. If it turns completely red under full sun, it's courtii. If it doesn't and the color stays more true to its current coloring in the pic you posted, it's S. psittacina x rubra ssp. wheryi.

Sarr 5 looks most like purpurea ssp venosa to me, but it could be a rosea (synonym for purpurea ssp venosa var. burkii). If the pitchers never get about this fat (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n265 ... idaRt6.jpg) it's more likely an ssp venosa, but it's really hard to say because they're not *that* much different. Their flowers look the same as I recall.

Rosea's flowers are the shiniest pink ever. I wait for 'em to bloom and I want to put them an a glass of water. But I try to propagate them which fails for me every time .

Thanks for that. I wonder if a lot of growers have their plants mislabeled; I've seen "roseas" with red flowers, and venosa's with reddish-pink flowers.

White-Yellow bellies. It varies. http://www.floridacarnivorousplantsocie ... isited.htm
