Yours lacks the distinct red lipstick around the outside of each trap, is instead solid red.. The insides of the traps on my "B52" are also not that red. Just a hint of it. I have a normal B52, and it looks pretty much exactly like the one in your photo.
 
In the six season I've been growing this cultivar it just takes an incremental change in light levels to go from green on the under sides to "lipstick" to full crimson. Nothing unusual, it just depends on the levels of light the plant gets as well as the season. This cultivar tends to produces its biggest most colorful leaves towards fall. Your mileage may vary depending on your growing conditions.
 
What, you never saw a B-52 with lipstick on ready for a night out on the town?

Very nice VFTs. Is there a name for the first one? Also in love with it, as well as the one with the lipstick. :-D
 
Some more propagation success...

Another random pic update.. Did some rearranging to and cleaning so I could bring my regias inside for the winter... And in doing so discovered why my seed grown regia was looking kinda poopie compared to the Big Easy.. Looks to be growing an offshoot.. (main plant looks pretty chopped right now after i did some pruning of dead leaves... )
