       There are 3 photos of I.lutea and 1 of P.louisianica on my website
       ( http://www.flytrap.demon.co.uk/ ) and descriptions of both.
       You'll find them linked from my growlist.
       They are both great plants, and I'm particularly fond of the smell
       of P.l. flowers in the greenhouse (sure beats S.flava :)
       From your description of the Ibicella (yellow flower,) I can
       confirm that it *is* Ibicella - although P.louisianica is variable
       (mine are lilac, but several shades of purple and a white form also
       exist, all streaked with orange on the palate to the best of my
       knowledge,) no predominantly or wholly yellow form exists. Ibicella
       is yellow, smaller and lightly speckled with darker orange.

       I know Ibicella is hard to find in the US, but most of the seed
       available in Europe seems to be true Ibicella - just one of those
       things I guess (lucky us :)

Happy growing,

Peter
