these are not registered or published cultivars. they are prob Dutch mass propagated plants with "interesting" names given to help make them more appealing. they are complex hybrids, impossible to give precise name or lineage apart from first is a leucophylla hbrid, next 2 are purpurea hybrids.

if you want to be sure of what you are growing do not buy from garden centres, use a reputable nursery or buy/swap with other growers. If you are not bothered about the names then buy what you like and just enjoy growing them!  |

They look like they originated from a company called Euroflora - I recognise the labels - which is based in Hertfordshire. Frank had a load of the "Cowboy" available at his open day.
Their identities are as follows:
1 - Sarracenia hybrid
2 - Sarracenia hybrid &
3 - Sarracenia hybrid
Can't be any more precise that that unfortunately. I'm not even sure Frank would be able to tell you.

Frank named a few cultivars last year. You have 'Cowboy' and 'Tara' and that is how they should be labelled . If you look around the garden centres you will also find 'Meike' , 'Jedi' and a selection of Sarracenia leucophylla called 'Ghost' (not to be confused with 'Schnell's Ghost'). They all seem to make good plants and I expect we will be seeing more in the garden centres next year (at least in Europe).

John, I know you think otherwise, but until they are published through a recognised process they are not cultivars as most people understand it.
Josh, I usually see Sarracenia psittacina, S,purpurea and "upright hybrids" in garden centres

the one with obvious purpurea in it reminds me (key phrase is 'reminds me') of something called a "cobra's nest".
