Looks like a variety of sarracenia purpurea! I've never seen them in the wild, but I've grown them and love them. Also they'll eat flies, ants, and yellow jackets

Oh wow, nice. Did you happen to just spot them or were you on an expedition to find them?

Speaking as somebody just on my way home from a trip to Newfoundland, you'd have to try hard not to see pitcher plants there. A huge swath of the island has very poor soil, so there are carnivorous plants all over the place. I hiked the Tablelands trail in Gros Morne National Park and there were pitcher plants along the entire thing.

Alright, I had no idea. Very cool.

Just a walk in the forest, and there they were. I wasn't looking for them specifically.
