Hi Steve,
Some plant shops in Belgium currently sell "N. coccinea" (labelled with a
code Derku002, Fleurmerc), in the two forms that you mention. Most of them
have a similar color pattern as N. x coccinea shown in The Savage Garden
(i.e. red with green spots). A minority looks like 'N. x morganiana (green
with red spots). The shape of both forms, however, is rather slender (like
the N. x coccinea picture).
I bought a single pot containing the two different plants, and the pitchers
they produce remain differently colored.
Vriendelijke groeten,
Peter Kronenberger
