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

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.
Just a walk in the forest, and there they were. I wasn't looking for them specifically.
That far north?! I never saw them in the wild until I moved to Florida. That's blowing my mind, would have said it was impossible.
Cool find!
By the way, if anyone is interested* there's a Lemmy carniverous plant community https://lemmy.world/c/SavageGarden
Oh yeah! I see a flower on there. Sarracenia have some of the most unique flower structures out there.
There's a place called New Land, New Found Land?! Hilarious.
