A while back, Jerry Addington gifted me with some of the first divisions of the famed white purps. (Supposedly resulting from a cross between two regular looking S. purpurea plants.) I’ve been growing the various clones outdoors and after a couple of seasons, they do still color up quite beautifully. I noticed something interesting the other day that I haven’t really observed on other plants. There is a subtle thin translucent edge on the pitchers! So cool. Here are a few photos of the plant and some close ups of the hood edge.
