I don't have very much to trade, but PM me and we'll work something out.
Pot cannot be too big because I'm running out of room in the balcony.
Would greatly appreciate it if you included sphagnum moss
I have some pretty big S. purpurea plants. But, I honestly don't know how to tell ssp venosa from ssp purpurea and that's why I have not listed them in my store. haha
Edit: here is an older picture of one before being split... (back then I was guessing it was ssp venusa but it honestly was a guess...)
Those will turn red in higher light. I got one from Arizona or New Mexico or some place that was so red it was almost black, but under full sun in Georgia it looks more like Andrew's than it did when I got it.
Well, my confusions on the differences of these 2 sarrs is looooong set. I once thought it was ssp purp.... Then was told it was venusa and back and forth.. here is the oldest post I could find of such situation... (and don't laugh... EVERYONE is a newb at some point )
It's hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like ssp. venosa.
Here's what to do to tell. Rub the outside of the pitcher. If it is smooth and waxy feeling, it is ssp. purpurea.
ssp. venosa has very short hairs on the outside of the pitcher and has a velvety feel to it.
Zero, even though it may be smooth and shiney....it may still be ssp venosa. the hood on ssp purpurea dose not undulate like that.... i dono...just a thought

If you look about 1/3 down this page from Barry Rice's sarracenia.com FAQ, you'll see his foolproof rules for distinguishing between S. purp purp and S purp ven: http://www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq5538.html
You'll also see his comment immediately after those simple rules that individual plants can break the rules. So have at it.
