HEy Joe, you are very welcome. Thank you for the story!
Just a side note: This is most likly N. ventricosa. This original plant came to me labled burkei, but the more I read the more I am convinced that it is just a very nice clone of ventricosa. It does display a few odd traits that are unlike my other vents. On a typical ventricosa the peristome will set almost horizontal all the way around the rim. This clone gets a nice slope at the back of the pitcher when it gets a bit bigger. Also the big stock plant that these came from has very dark red spotted pitchers and the peristome is super dark, almost black. If youkeep it in good strong light, it should color up a bit darker then it is, all of those plants were being a bit shaded by thier naighbors.
