I got that same rosea from elaineo. Based on the shape, I think it was a rosea hybrid that was selfed. Roseas are like purpureas, short and squat.

The plant in the middle photo is gorgeous!

Very nice giveaway prize.

Strangely, all the purpurea seeds I started from msprouse are producing tall/narrow pitchers. I thought I was crowding them too densely, or maybe they got oversprayed with insecticide. I don't think msprouse would mistake a rosea hybrid for rosea, but i sent him a message to ask what he thinks. Will update if he responds.

Regarding, the rosea, I did get a reply from the seller:

I did not keep any of those seeds, but I have had about 10 out of 50 montana, Transylvania cty. x self show cross pollination. I figure one or 2 of the 5 receptors picked up some stray pollen.

so the rosea are likely cross pollinated. hope that helps

That is always the risk of getting seeds from other growers. You never know what their pollen "hygiene" is. I bag the flowers when they first appear and the bag only comes off for pollination and once the petals fall off.
