I just read about it.. it's a vine that when it starts climbing up a tree, puts out leaves that look like the tree's leaves. Wouldn't it be neat if we could put it on a Nep vine and get pitchers

Very interesting, I didn't know plants could do that.

That is something to consider, although I don't think the pitchers would be functional. At the very least, it would be interesting to make it imitate Nepenthes leaves and pass it off as a rare Nepenthes species.

It would indeed be interesting to get it to mimic an Nepenthes. But passing it off as something it's not brings words other than interesting to mind.
