N. ventricosa

Okay, my plant is making things hard for me. When I got it, it had one extreamly red pitchure. So I figured it was a 'red' because no 'typical' photoes had that level of color. Then, the next two pitchures come in looking 'typical' and longer then the others. So I was thinking "Maybe it is a typical and they had it in extream light" BUT NOW it is making big red fat pitures again and it's not getting extra light! Ahhhh! Sooo, what do you think? Is it a red or can typicals do this?

I would guess it is a red form of N. ventricosa. Once the plant gets large and upper pitchers are formed, those pitchers may be far less red. Good luck and happy growing.
