Sarracenia purpurea
subsp. purpurea f. heterophylla!
There it was, the first clearly, truly anthocyanin-free plant I
found on the trip. Since I knew there were possibly more of those
"veinless" mimics around, I spent a while carefully
checking this plant out before I declared it to be the real deal.
Excellent! It is so strange looking, compared to the normally
pigmented plants it grows with.
So let's see--my trip took about 3/4 day to drive from my Ottawa
hotel to the bogs; I was up before dawn so I could bog at two sites
during daylight hours; then in the evening and into the night I raced
back to Ottawa. Was it worth it? You betcha!
