Unknown Drosera & Sarracenia species/subspecies

Hi i would love any suggestions on what the following plant species/subspecies maybe.

I'm thinking this one may be Drosera nidiformis but to be honest i have no idea lol

following are some Sarracenia psittacina's of mine, the first two pic's im almost certain are S. flava x psittacina

This one possibly just S. psittacina

Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful...

The ones you have labeled as S. psittacina look like 'Scarlet Belle' to me.

I think you are correct about the drosera. The Sarracenia looks like S. dixie lace.

That's definitely D. nidiformis.

The two sarracenia are hybrids involving psittacina. S. flava x psittacina looks very different from what you have. The hoods open to form massive dome shapes.

My turn to take a guess. . I agree with Wire Man: It's definitely a S. psittacina hybrid. The psitt hybrid with S. flava does look very different, but the hoods don't always open. I have two different clones of the same hybrid, and the pitchers vary on the same plant in the same season. See below:

Clone 1

Clone 2

I don't know the complex psittacina cultivars very well, so it could certainly be one of those. To me, however, it looks very much like an S. alata x psittacina hybrid I have:

And by way of comparison, below are hybrids of psittacina crossed with two different rubra subspecies. S. rubra wherryi:

and S. rubra gulfensis:

This last one (one of my favorites) is a recently-named cultivar: S. 'Gorey'.

Hope this helps!
