Carnivorous Plants/identification of Sarracenia Flava

Question
I bought a Sarracenia Flava from you guys marked Sarracenia Flava but it looks very different from all the flavas shone on your website. I live in Oklahoma and the plant is in a peat/perlite mix receiving full sun outdoors. Can the color difference be from increased sunlight or is mine a different variety?

If you purchased this plant as a regular flava, you lucked out! This is a red tube clone that we released as AG3, which we sold for twice as much as the regular variety. We recently sold out of his variety, so that's why you don't see it online. In any case, you have a very nice specimen!
Good growing!
