Purple Pitcher Plant

Purple pitcher-plant is a native, perennial, carnivorous forb. The evergreen
leaves are modified into pitchers and arranged in a rosette. The
pitchers are curved and decumbent, measuring to 17.7 inches (45 cm) and
widening prominently toward the mouth. The hood on the pitcher is
positioned vertically, resulting in the pitcher usually being full or
partly full of rainwater. Leaf color varies from bright
yellow-green to dark purple and is most commonly a middle variation with
strong red venation. Flower petals, sepals, and bracts are rose pink to
dark red. Flowers are solitary, and terminate a scape arising from
the rhizome. At anthesis the scape is recurved near the apex. The
fruit is a capsule with laterally winged seeds.
