To my eye the flowers are a blueish-violet. The leaf color looks just like this photograph: brownish-copper.

It also exist a white form of this species.
 
call Cook's carnivorous plants. They don't list them, but they offer P.debbertiana. They also offer several rare temperate ping hybrids. I can't grow Temperate pings, though. My conditions are too hot.
 
I think you can grow temperates in the Winter (late Fall til early Spring) under lights and then put them in the fridge during the Summer. I assume by temperates you mean P. vulgaris, ect.

Cheers,

Joe

What do you mean put them in the fridge?! It will be too cold and dry for them in there, they will NEVER go out of dormacy and will probably die! They are best grown outside all year.
