hello duckking. nice plant, im not sure if your a member of pitcherplants forum, but there was a topic on there discussing N. thorelii, and that the real plant is not in cultivation, and if it were no one knows about it....
most of the hybrids seen commonly with this as a parent are in fact N. bokorensis.

Wo ai ne de hua.

So red! o.o

Nice one, Halt.

In fact, it does look a little like N. bokorensis...

Hello~ kindly SirKristoff,
Thanks for you info. It's really helpful.
I saw that topic on the pitcherplants forum. You mean this one, right?
Topic: N. thorelii hybrids
Woo~ That was very very long discussion ! I just gave up to read them finish.
But I know the true N. thorelii is just a dry specimen now.
So~ Although we don't know his name, but he is still a beautiful nepenthes.
Thank you very much my friend.

Thanks for your admiration. Thanks~

There is a listing on Ebay for a nepenthes called a Red Dragon that looks exactly like this. I hope I am not breaking rules by posting this link ...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123#ebayphotohosting

It says it is a N. thorelii x truncata

Hello~ Nikki, Thank you very much. but..
I thought my nepenthes is not N. thorelli x truncata...
Anyway, Thanks for your link and help. Thanks~

Hey Duccking,

Your plant looks like it might be thorelli x mirabilis.

 

[duckking]

Oh! It's possible. I'll keep observe it.
Thanks for your opinion. Thanks a lot.

A second look, and some research, makes it seem much more like N. smilesii.

Picture is of N. smilesii from Cambodia, Francois Mey.
