Or Heliamphora/Sarracenia/Darlingtonia? They at least are all in the

But think of it...a cross between a Nepenthes and a VFT would finally
satisfy all those people who want the cap to shut on the prey! :) And a
VFT/wolverine cross would end the problem of folks sticking their fingers
into the traps, at least after the first time. Maybe getting a few
nettle characteristics into the plants would discourage poachers?
