NAN, what do you mean by "The hybrid everybody says is S. 'Judith Hindle'" Perhaps you are suggesting that this is another registered cultivar that has been contaminated by unscrupulous/ignorant growers?

Here is the official published cultivar type photo

Hi Bob

The plant was a Lowe's generically labeled as "Purple Pitcher Plant". Chances are it is 'Judith Hindle' since at the time it was being mass produced by AG3. But you can never be certain.

 

[Wire Man]

Oh, Tyler County, those are nice. Big, too, if I'm remembering correctly.

Nowhere near as good as you guys' plants, but I still love mine To try something different, I didn't prune them this season. Left to right: Judith Hindle, unknown hybrid and Leucophylla "Tarnok".

S. minor 'Okee Giant'

S. flava

this ones seed grown from the ICPS seedbank

S. leucophyla 'Hurricane Creek White' (?) I traced the lineage of the plant, and it is supposed to be HCW but the pitchers are seldom big/wide like the "standard"

NaN, your S. 'Leah Wilkerson' and S. 'Adrian Slack' look amazing!

S. x 'Judith Hindle' x 'Leah Wilkerson':

S. flava var. flava again. I like this one!

S. flava var ornata:

S. 'Tarnok':

S. oreophila "Alabama" coming along nicely:

The whole enchilada as of today (sheltered from the high winds):

S. purpurea ssp venosa

Think the ala is big enough on this pitcher?

 

[joossa]

That is large, NaN! Gotta start sucking up that sunlight, eh?

S. flava var. ornata, lightly veined. This one got huge this year!

S. purpurea ssp. purpurea [Ontario]. This one did really well in excessive heat over the summer given it's from Canada.

[Not a Number]

S. purpurea ssp venosa × oreophila

S. rubra var gulfensis "Ancestral Form"

S. 'Hummer's Okee Classic'

S. rosea - what's with the monster alas this year?
