following are some Sarracenia psittacina's of mine, the first two pic's im almost certain are S. flava x psittacina:scratch:

This one possibly just S. psittacina

The ones you have labeled as S. psittacina look like 'Scarlet Belle' to me.
 
might be right on the drosera. need to see a flower to be 100% sure.
 
I think you are correct about the drosera. The Sarracenia looks like S. dixie lace.
 
i'll try and get a picture of the Drosera flowers, im pretty sure there actually flowering at the moment... i'll post pic's tomorrow. :)

Sorry this is a terrible picture (stupid camera is on its way out!!!) but what do you think? Drosera nidiformis flower???
 
Third sarr pic looks like x doodle bug to me.
 
Almost certain that is nidiformis.

That's definitely D. nidiformis.

The two sarracenia are hybrids involving psittacina. S. flava x psittacina looks very different from what you have. The hoods open to form massive dome shapes.

My turn to take a guess. :). I agree with Wire Man: It's definitely a S. psittacina hybrid. The psitt hybrid with S. flava does look very different, but the hoods don't always open. I have two different clones of the same hybrid, and the pitchers vary on the same plant in the same season. See below:

I don't know the complex psittacina cultivars very well, so it could certainly be one of those. To me, however, it looks very much like an S. alata x psittacina hybrid I have:

And by way of comparison, below are hybrids of psittacina crossed with two different rubra subspecies. S. rubra wherryi:

and S. rubra gulfensis:

This last one (one of my favorites) is a recently-named cultivar: S. 'Gorey'.

Hope this helps!
