Hey y'all,

Wanted to share a S. purpurea I saw in SW Michigan at the start of July. Caught it in flower, my first purp flower in the wild!

Lovely! It's fun to see them in natural bogs. Those seed heads usually stay upright through the winter, making it easier to find their location when everything else is leafless.

FYI - That flower popped in the spring, looked like this:

The petals have fallen off, the flower has rotated to vertical, and it's growing seeds now.

That makes a lot of sense - I saw flava flowers this spring and they didn't look like that. I'll have to go back in March-April and try to see the real flowers. Cool!

The orange flowers are interesting. That's my (Bronze x Coppertop) #16 that I got from Jeremiah Harris. The upper-half of the pitchers turn red, and the coloration bleeds over into the flowers.
