Here's the info I found out about the red flowers if anyone is interested.

Thanks for looking.

S. leucophylla Raf. (white-top pitcher plant) is one of the showiest species, with large leaves up to 9 dm (35 inches) tall that catch the light and seem to glow from within. The leaves are green with white splotches and purple to green venation. The showy flowers have brick-red to paler rose-red sepals and petals. In Florida, this species is restricted to the northwest region from Franklin County west to Escambia County where it is one of the most conspicuous Sarracenia species in the coastal savannas around Perdido Bay, Pensacola Bay and Choctawhatchee Bay. This species is prevalent in the open savannas of Garcon Point and Tarkiln Bayou. S. leucophylla is also sometimes found in small sphagnum bogs or in floating mats along acidic streams that flow through sandhill.

Interesting! Our pitcher plants are pale green.

wow i like the 3rd picture alot very intersting, and beautiful flower.

The first two images of the flowers I have never seen them before, didn't know that they existed. Thanks for the info.

I have seen the pitcher plant, it's very carnivorous.

Thanks for the nice comments..I've been patiently waiting for these flowers to pop up from the ground, they are quick growers...one day home from work they weren't there and the next they were. The two top photo's I thought were pretty interesting also..never seen them with petals before..
