meizwang Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Aside from S. purpurea venosa 'Brunswick Red', This is my favorite clone in the collection from Brunswick Co, NC. It has this extremely bulbous feature to it, and the colors are also really nice. Perhaps bulbous clones like this one once gave botanists the impression that S. rosea was the same subspecies. Nice thing about purps. is the pitchers last throughout the winter, and are usually in perfect condition until about March, when the new pitchers start to emerge. They can also accumulate more anthocyanins and become more colorful, even during dormancy. here are the pics of S. purpurea ssp. venosa Brunswick Co, NC clone B-this plant is completely dormant: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ57 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Absolutely gorgeous purp! True the only way I know my purps are dormant is they stopped producing new pitchers. Pitchers last through winter even covered in snow here. I am hoping to add Brunswick Co, NC clone B and a rosea to my collection in the future. Great pics, thanx for sharing Edited November 19, 2012 by DJ57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meizwang Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thank you all for the comments! What strikes me as strange is how some clones of S. purpurea ssp. venosa from the Carolinas look like S. rosea, while on the other hand, some S. roseas from Baldwin Co, AL look just like S. purpurea ssp. venosa! Kiwiearl-here's a S. rosea from Baldwin Co, AL that looks like a S. purpurea ssp. venosa: And here's another individual from this same population in Baldwin Co, AL, looking more like a regular S. rosea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Weapon Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 The prettiest S. purpurea I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
