Two Sarracenia "mouths" with a lid. One of them is bright purple and the other one is pale green.

Some plants react to the sun much like humans do, "getting a tan". It's called sun stressing!

For this picture I kept one of Scylla's "mouths" in the shadow (indirect light), so it shows its natural green colour, but I made sure that the other "mouth" enjoyed as much (direct) sun as possible.

The plant is not upset about this experiment at all. It keeps pushing "mouths" like crazy.
