Hi everyone can any of you guys please tell me what Sarracenia this is I had it since august from a plant store at San Francisco it didn’t have the name of this Sarracenia so I don’t know.

Looks like sarracenia purpurea

It's a hybrid. Maybe some purp in it but it is impossible to fully identify.

I'm actually suprised. I wasn't expecting a hybrid

Sometimes ya find real gems at the local spot.

Hey should I do a update later on this plant? Also my new plant is coming in tomorrow its a Byblis Filofolia

It might be the hybrid Sarracenia 'Cobra Nest'. It's hard to be sure when the plant is dormant and last year's pitchers are looking a bit ratty.

I'm going to take another picture when the new pitcher gets brighter because there's a new large pitcher growing.

It may be rather difficult to positively identify this plant. It's most certainly a hybrid, and looks like it probably has some purpurea in it, but I couldn't say much other than that right now. Once it grows a bit more and you have a nice crop of healthy pitchers during the growing season, it should be easier.

It's new pitcher just opened up but it doesn't have any colouration so I'll take a pic when the new pitcher gets it's full color but pitcher is a bit smaller than the first one I took pic of.

Any plant that I don’t know what it is is labeled just as a generic Sarracenia. It’s nice to try and guess what it is based on characteristics that you see but without the lineage it’s just a guess (unless you can contact the person who made it and know for sure).

Maybe has some Minor in it? For all we know, it's a seed grown, and not even a registered hybrid. Who knows?

There are some pictures when I first got do you guys want to see it

I'm Finally going to do an update tomorrow but the color still hasn't gotten any color yet

Guessing, I would say that your sarr could be a Purpurea x Minor or a Purpurea x Flava.
I hope this gives you a general idea of what its parents may be.
