Hi Daniel,

I agree with the other folks on this list that #2, #3 are probably
S. purpurea x minor and S. purpurea x leucophylla clones.

As for the first photo, I don't quite think it is a pure
S. leucophylla. The tube is a little narrow, the fenestrations are a bit
few, and the red is a bit intense. Maybe some S. rubra has gotten in
there.

When doing forensic botany on Sarracenia hybrids, flowers should be
checked too. Flower color (inner *and* outer surface of leaf) should be
examined, as well as flower size and petal shape.

Cheers

Barry
