Hi Lisa,

Without seeing the plant, you have perfectly described N. Coccinea"DeRoose",
which is not a true N Coccinea, but a tissue cultured clone. They are being
sold in garden centers because they are being mass produced and wholesaled
across the USA. It is an easy grower under lowland conditions, and produces
large heavily spotted pitchers.

Until later,
