Listen I feel dumb even listing this as minor, I know it probably couldn't be, but I also don't know that its purpurea. If you look in photo 9, you can see some of the habitat, with some legit purpurea in the background. These were hooded, and seemed to be fully functional pitchers, even though on these 2 plants pictured, they were never taller than 4 inches, and had the narrower pitcher. Is this just a baby purpurea that is weird? I have grown purpurea on my desk, and from what I remember about the baby pitchers on the ones I've grown, they havent had a hood and been open like that.

All of these individuals were growing within 2 feet of each other, with some truly monster purpureas right beside them.

Last photo is the sarracenia in question on the left, with a smaller dead pitcher from a purpurea on the right. I have both of these available for sequencing if anyone would be so kind. They are drying on the dash of my car right now.

I would LOVE some input from a Sarracenia expert.
