And why do you doubt it? What is your suggestion? If you want to contribute to the thread and to help identify the plant in question, either make a suggestion or offer proof why another suggestion is not correct.
I don't see any purpurea characteristics and I've seen pics of flava x (purpurea x flava) and it doesn't look like that. I mean that I doubt the hybrid, not that it is a hybrid.. I'm sorry, I really can't use the computer today.
the fact there is a slight curvature to the pitchers tell me purp genes. the hood of flava(from the rim) goes straight up then at an angle. this plant has the hood going at an angle from the start with a very very slight vertical raise. and also that all pitchers face the rhizome they originate from.
since flava x (purp x flava) IS a hybrid. you can have an extreme amount of genetic variation. you could have 2 DIFFERENT or same forms of flava and a form of purp. no two from even the same hybrid and seed set will look the same.
Thats a cool plant dude. I would guess a big mutt there. I agree with all of the above but I would guess a little bit of oreo in there two with the recurved lid like that although there is know wavyness to it. I also agree with the leuco/purp background. Thats a tough one. I've never seen a Sarra with that appearance. My guess would be flava oreo leuco purp maybe backcrossed with flava. Wild guess. Sarracenia variability is awesome. If that one were in my backyard I'd call it 'Coolaid'
I have to disagree with the Leuco idea. If it had Leuco in it, the hood would be at least a little wavy. The Flava and Oreo prospects sound good to me as well as Flava (Purp x Flava) or Flava x (Purp x Flava) x Flava. It almost reminds me of Copper Vase.
