I'm with Jason. I'm wondering if that is a "Cobra Nest" plant. Check out these topics and corresponding pictures:

yeah i think its either wrigleyana, or scarlett belle i bought mine from the same brand, and it turned out to be a scarlet belle
how can you tell if its a "regular" wrigleyana, or a scarlett belle?
(if its not labeled)
are there any distinct differences that make the "belle" stand out from a normal wrigleyana?
thanks,
Scot
oh..and in case anyone is confused.."scarlett belle" is a cultivar, a specific named variety of wrigleyana..
S. wrigleyana is a naturally occuring hybrid of S. leucophylla X S. psittacina.
So..a "scarlett belle" is always a wrigleyana,
but a wrigleyana is not necessarily a scarlett belle!

yeah, i agree, never seen a cobra lily like that before, the coloration gives it off.
nonono thats not scarlett belle OR cobra lily, its just plain old wrigleyana
Believe me, you'll know a scarlett belle when you see one

I've seen about 10 different pitcher plants, all labeled cobra lily. It seems to be a generic term for them in places like that. I just got three today, all of them HUGE. Full grown Judith Hindle, Cobra Nest, and an S. minor. Going in the bog tomorrow!

After seeing this thread I had to go to target and take a look.
I went there today and got this. Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like s. purpurea ssp. venosa to me. I also included the "cobra lily" label in the pic. There was this one and another like it, a couple of leuco hybrids, and a sad looking s. wrigleyana.
Heres a closeup...

definitely a purp there in the above post. i would think the wrigleyana in the ad is a scarlett belle, as it is in TC production and available wholesale. not sure if a plain ol' wriglyeana is being mass produced anywhere.
theres ALOT of labeling problems in the world, this makes it all better
I couldent resist myslef, and went out and bought me a beautiful what looks like purp X rubra hybrid, Very deep red, very nice, the only they had healthy although had early signs of spider mites, so I sprayed it first thing when I got home with a hoseplant insecticide!
