Peristome Nectar

[Mannex17]

While looking at my new N. ventricosa, I noticed the peristome on one of it's pitchers was shiney, and when I touched it, sticky. I took a quick look around to see if the coast was clear, and then I stuck out my tongue and... licked it. Tasted amazing. If you guys don't hear from me for a few days, call 911 and tell them to search the bottoms of the nep pitchers for me.

You're like "The neaf nectar is delicious, but I can't wait for the peristome nectar! I'm eagerly awaiting it!"

I picture you sitting at a table with a fork and knife, staring at your nepenthes. It just cracks me up.

Look at what this plant did after feeding! This is all secreted by the plant:

You're talking about the juice? I wonder how that would taste (before bugs dissolve in it of course.) Too bad it might dissolve your stomach from the inside out.

Judging by the smell of it, I wouldn't try it...

Mannex17: the 'juice' from an unopened pitcher is sterile and if you want to try some...be my guest. i have heard that if this sterile juice is put on wounds(to an extent) the pain is greatly relived.
