I know that Sarracenia hybrids are among the most difficult to identify due to the possibility of nearly all members of the genus crossing with one another, but could anyone help me to try and identify my two hybrids? Both hybrids are frost tolerant and grow well in full sun.
Hybrid #1:
This seems like a hybrid with some S. leucophylla in it but I have no idea what other species might be involved. It grows pitchers up to 40cm high, which turn red in the sun. The lid is curly and the pitchers have a more blotchy appearance towards the top. The flower has red petals and grows on a long stalk. I only have some pictures of an older and smaller pitcher but the characteristics are present anyway (albeit in a smaller/less pronounced way)

Hybrid #2
It seems like there is some influence of S. purpurea in this hybrid. The pitchers are between 10 and 30cm long spread out from the center but go upwards towards their top. They express a very pronounced red coloration when put in sunny conditions (I have 2 plants now which have become a dark bloody red color all over). I have not yet seen a flower but one is developping now so I'll know the color of this in a few weeks.
edit: the flower color is also red
One of the plants which has been grown in lower light conditions:

Many thanks to the person that can identify these for me.
