Hey all,
Last year, I was at my local nursery, and saw trays of large sarracenia, labeled purpurea. I picked one and brought it home. This year, early spring, it has flowered, and I was wondering if it was S. Rosea, as it grew quite a short stalk, and it has pink inner petals. Do you think it’s rosea, or is it just purpurea?

Here is the photo, didn’t upload for some reason on last post.

It certainly is.

Cheers
Steve

Ah, an Xtreem "purpurea". My favorite nursery in the area gets a bunch of Xtreem pitcher plants. Those purpurea's are either pure-blooded rosea's or purpurea x rosea hybrids. I bought 3 from the nursery when the plants were small; I thought they were chubby lil' purps. This is what I have now: I'm not complaining, mind you, but these are not purpurea's.

Same, my local nursery gets a lot of them. Do you happen to have the 'White Wizard' variety? If so send pics.

This was the shipment that arrived while I was there: Cobra Nest, Meerkat Mob, White Wizard, and the pseudo-purpurea's.

Wow, the only ones my local nursery gets (SummerWinds Nursery) are S. Rosea and S. x ‘White Wizard’.
