I have a Nepenthes in flower making nectar. I have no ID for the plant the only thing I know for sure is that it is a highland variety Cheers steve

Pollinators would be flocking to that surplus of nectar.
Intriguing mix of colors in the middle pic...paused on that one for quite a while...very nice!
Are the lower pitchers dark in color as well?

This is a 'typical' pitcher, for reference it's about 125mm tall x 45mm wide, they are normally slightly darker than this and the rim darkens to a deep maroon in better light, but this plant has been sat in a badly lit bathroom for the last four months, so hasn't coloured up yet. Attachments:

Looks like there's some talangensis in the mix.
Used to have a N. ventricosa x talangensis that made similar looking pitchers to your plant's.
Wouldn't be surprised if your plant was made with a ventricosa x sibuyanensis hybrid mother flower dabbed with talangensis pollen.

This is a picher off the unknown highlander that I broke off whilst moving it from its overwintering location to its summer location, (bathroom to the porch). I was hoping it may help confirm or otherwise Dougs initial ID.

Thanks for that Doug, It looks very similar indeed , although mine doesn’t get the hairs and doesnt colour so much, but that could be my conditions. Cheers Steve

Steve, have you posted this question on other online CP/Nepenthes sites? If you're able to procure a positive ID, please let us know what you've named him. Cheers, Doug dvg
