I had posted this in the sarracenia picture thread, but figured I should make a post here to get the best response. I did find out a bit more information concerning the plant. The guy I recently purchased it from said it was a rare variety... he called it "Yellow Jacket", although I really dont think this is a real name. I don't recall the original conversation I had with him, but I seem to recall the words burkii and heterophylla, althogh I'm not sure if this is an original form or a hybrid of 2 purps (perhaps 1 or both antho-free?).
I didn't mention any of the above info in the picture thread, but these are the two responses I got ...

Looks like it could be antho-free. Maybe luteola or "green tuba"

I'd say purpurea ssp. purpurea forma heterophylla was more likely?
As far as I'm aware, this is a mature plant. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Will be sure to post another picture when the pitchers open
Pretty sure the one older pitcher came up before the april frost... Outside and inside of pitcher is rather fuzzy.
