Yeah, I saw the same thing on my friend's N. Khasiana plants.
There were sticky drops of nectar all over the pitchers, and
it was sweet to the taste. It was also a pain to remove
from my hair, which collected a lot of nectar because my
head kept banging against pitchers.

There was no sweet aroma, though.
