Hi Dave

For what I've seen, in my books, it's actually (as you said) a coloration
difference. Ventricosa has a green or 'cream-yellow' pitcher with vive red
peristom. Burkei is more tending to purple, but the whole pitcher has a
pronounced red coloration, this increases with the age of the plant and the
sun exposition. This mix between the two colours gives a brown-red color, with
red veines.

I've seen a cephalotus pitcher turning to yellow in a few days. Will it die
soon ?

Mimosa Pudica : seems the plantlets are sensitives (sure, hey)...to the sun
and can be severely burned ! Watch out... In the same way, expose the plant to
a cool wind and it immediately closes his leaves.
