Okay this is the last one...I just got this today and it is called a Sarracenia Purpurea Venosa...it is so unique. I have it in a three inch pot in sphagnum moss. I use distilled water on it. The fellow I got it from said to put distilled water in the pitchers because I guess in nature they take in rain water and also drop the odd bug in the pitcher as well.

Generally speaking, Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa is one of the easiest
Sarracenia for home growers to cultivate
