Wow never realized that. I bought it as a N. alata, but after looking at pics idk.
The vfts, im planning on putting the red dragon out in my bog in a little bit, the vft typical I don't want to put in my big bog yet bec they are so low to the ground, one heavy rain and they will get covered. I might start a small bog pot but haven't decided yet.
I want to say that was the "red flush". However they both kind of look the same when they are small. In the big picture of all three I think the "red flush" is in the middle and the orange is on the right. I couldn't believe that one of the pitchers had fangs already.
If it was labeled N. alata, it's probably N. x. "Alata," aka Deroose's Alata, a hybrid developed by Deroose plants for easy tissue culturing. The parentage is alata x ( alata x ventricosa ) if I'm not mistaken - they name their hybrids after the mother plant in a rather boring convention. Most people overlook that the x. and capitalized name indicate that it's a named hybrid and not a specimen of the actual species N. alata.
