Yes, I don't know that they are availible on a commerial basis, however.
Phil Sheridan (SP?) mentioned finding three all-green seedlings among
his experimental Sarracenia purpurea venosa seedlings. Perhaps when
these are large enough to seed, we'll see some in the seed bank. Most
any plant species can have an all-green mutation. BTW, this *doesn't*
seem to be the same sort genetics at work as what causes the all-green
in S.purp purp heterophylla.

Hmm, I think you would need more light for aquatic Utricularia than
the other types. Small Pinguicula, like P. lusitanica and P. pumila
aren't that happy about strong light...
