D'oh! ummmm... Sorry, my finger must have slipped off the "S" key, and
hit the N-e-p-e-n-t-h-e-s keys in succession, by mistake.

How about a Sarracenia pitcher plant? Mostly green, with narrow
pitchers (no more than 0.5 cm in diameter--and this time I /really/ do
mean cm!) about 30 cm long. The pitchers tend to mature to a red-dipped
appearance, just before the cursed lids burn (they all seem to turn
brown & die at the tips... maybe short periods of low humidity causes
this).
