Nepenthes is an extraordinary group of plants.The 'pitchers' hang from tendrils that have formed at the tips of the leaves. Ultimately carnivorous, they lure small creatures to their loathsome lips, the unfortunate creature slips in and becomes trapped with little hope of escape.
I've had these plants for more than a decade, and neglected them for a long time-they were overgrown with weeds, and the media was completely decomposed and nasty. Last winter, they were all re-potted and now they're starting to look good again.
Look at how crapy these plants looked 3 months earlier! www.flickr.com/photos/rco911/5820103373/in/photostream/

The unfurling bud of almost a month ago has gone through several changes. Inner petals splayed out, revealing the lower cup shape, with its curiously toothed lip. That in turn reveals a ball with yellow pollen laden stamens.
PS it smelled really bad - I guess to attract more flies? So it had to be relegated to the spare room, with a window open.
The pitcher plant is a symbol that represents Newfoundland and Labrador’s natural beauty, humanity, and strength of our collective character. One that has adapted to this place over generations, survived everything the world has thrown at it, and thrived. It’s a symbol of our creativity, of our way of looking at things differently, and of our belief that there really is no place on Earth quite like our home, Newfoundland and Labrador.
