Hello Derek,

After Jan posted the "Joanne Holland" hybrid, I figured I had better
respond to inform you of a second cross, this one of unknown parentage.
It was originally brought into Florida from Marcel Lecoufle with the
name tag simply marked- Holland Hybrid. Apparently, Lecoufle collected
it from a grower in Holland, and nobody knew its background. Here in
southern Florida it grows as a true lowlander and makes large, showy
traps, reminescent of one of the many forms of Wrigleyana: it has that
Coccinea/Morganiana type persistome. Red suffused pitcher. Lots of red
markings.

Anybody in Europe know what this is?

Trying to be of some help.
