In the r/SavageGarden sub on Reddit, Trey Hale (a.k.a. Dirty Divisions) posted some pics from a bogging trip in Okaloosa County, northwest Florida. Check out this Sarracenia flava var. cuprea:

I have never seen a cuprea with dark-burgundy hoods. Trey refers to it as "var. atrocuprea"; I think it should be registered as a new variety.

Here is the link to the post if you want to see the rest of the pics. That's one helluva bog site!

Agreed, "stunning" is about the only way to describe it. Gorgeous coloration. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that's quite the amazing specimen. Certainly doesn't look like a true Carolina cuprea, much more chunky. Possibly a product of Rugelii x true atro?

If this was spotted where I think it was, it's in a very well-managed bog in the Blackwater River State Forest
