That is a really nice purp! Great coloring and veining

Looks great especially with all the live sphagnum growing out the pot.

we had a very rainy season. good for sphagnum.

wow! that is one heck of a thriving plant. Very very very nice. Isn't the purpurea the most common and widest north american pitcher plant species?

Very nice S.purpurea I really like the coloration of it very healthy looking.

wow, wish i had that much cool looking sphagnum. i can grow them seperately from plant, but for some reason i can never establish a mat with the plant. it always dries out since its on top. and it dries out again like a day without watering it. does it get easier after it has established in the pot? because mine just floats to the top if i top water it.

Gorgeous coloration. No kidding on the sphagnum. It's out of control.

xvart.

Amazing, i cant wait till i get my Sphagnum Capillifolium here in a few days, gonna propogate it like mad, beautiful red sphagnum it is....would look great with a purp like that....i plan in replanting my minibog plants next year when they are too big for the minibogs, and try and do some individual pots that look like that....

as for the sphagnum, the purp is potted in lfs and the water level is kept high. We have also had record rainfall here in Maine.

What kind of temps was it exposed to in the summer? How hot did it get there? I too struggle with keeping LFS alive.

And, wow what a beautiful purp!
