Hi Christoph,
This theory about the two toned pitchers being the juvenile/
lower pitchers could be right. The N.burkei is the cutting I
received which flowered soon after rooting, so it is in it's
upper growth. If true, your plant may flower soon! I did see
a huge plant (a couple feet across) of N.ventricosa at Long Wood
Gardens with the two tones, but it may have still been in low
growth... Could this be the only way to tell in this species?
