Jean, your plants look wonderful! Scott's , too.
My one might fine plant blossom is looking very sad and saggy this week. I wonder why. The pre-pitchers are still hanging in there.
Just about everything else in the yard is in bloom.

The bugs seem fond of the elixir within Jean. The shape of the pitcher is probably secondary.
I think 70% of my customers drown them. We try to educate. Many people just buy them as annuals.
It's a shame because they get better w/age.

Don't we all? . In your case Yes. Not so much on my end. Seem to suffer from functional obsolescence  |

My sarracenia garden today. Quick phone cam snap. A little blurry due to blustery weather. Notice at 2Pm a small purple flower on a very long thin stem? What's that? It would be need to see a large area of that. Five pitchers and three flowers. Pat I keep the water 2" below the surface of the peat moss. Everything seems copacetic. The plant with the single pitcher does have a blushing throat. Need a calm day to get a pic of that.  |

Mine are abbynormal. Mutant pitchers. But one of them, despite it's handicap, is able to catch bugs. YAY!

Pat, posted these a few days ago. I think you already saw them, but here they are again, just in case. I hope I don't bore you to tears. These are the most recent pics I've taken, still looks pretty much the same. With this dry windy air, I am being extra vigilant about keeping the water level high.
The slit. (I know, kinda looks obscene. ) 
Mutant pitcher eating a bug. I doubt this one will unfurl all the way, but maybe I'll get more pitchers. 
A few more pics HERE

Came close to being a platanthera orchid. They are common with sarracenias. Actually looks like snap dragon family.

these purple guys are tiny. 4 would fit on a dime without hanging off the side.

I have 2 books about 2 inches thick. one is monocots, other dicots. " Wetland Plants of the South East US ". We have a million plants. Taxonomy on wetland plants
are very tricky. I do not see the snapdragon family in the wetland book. May be a challenge to find. Small probably does not mean much. It's all about the flower shape.

Scott's flower
Salvia Azurea – Blue Sage 
A match? Not quite sure. The Blue Sage blooms in late summer, and the flowers are whorled. Scott's, not so much.
IDK, maybe? The flower looks pretty close, but not the rest of the plant. |

Definitely not a match.
Foliage is incorrect. Thanks for playing a rousing game of ID Scott's flower.
