Sarracenia rubra var. gulfensis, Sweet Pitcher Plant or Gulf Pitcher Plant, red form in habitat, Eglin AFB, Santa Rosa County, Florida
An unusually red form of this subspecies. Please compare to the "normal form" image later in this post.
It is difficult to say if this color variant is simply a variety or possibly the result of introgression with either S leucophylla or S psittacina and then generations of backcrosses. Nevertheless, an impressive variant.
