Hello. This is my as of yet unidentified Nepenthes, and I love it! It is just a baby, not yet producing upper pitchers, but it's getting there! Here are some photos of it, some from the first day I got it, some from yesterday.

Any help in identification would be great...

Also some photos of my also unidentified Sarracenia hybrid, also taken yesterday...

This is what it looked like the first day I got it. I rescued it from a New World supermarket in Stokes Valley, NZ. They had it growing in a tiny little plastic tube so it was all bunched up, and without air, and in a really cool, dark spot! Doesn't it just look so much happier now that it can spread out?

Isn't the baby pitcher cute?

This is also on the first day I got it. Note the black mould and the deformed pitcher, both from being squashed up in a confined space with the wrong water, light and air conditions.

The one-and-only full-grown pitcher it had on it when I first got it. The other pitchers were all the tiny, baby leaf ones, and the only other large one was still red and hadn't opened yet.

An overhead view of the plant, taken yesterday, on the 15th January NZ time. The leaves you can see are the top ones. It has a level of now dying off baby leaves below them. This photo was taken just over a month after I bought it.

It's latest endeavour-the tiniest baby pitcher ever seen attempts to grow. It's kid of woody looking though, all of it's shoots are. They still grow though...

This is the pitcher that was still red when the other photo of the full-grown pitcher was taken a month ago. Look at it now! It seems to look more sleek and shiny than the old pitchers, is this because it's grower older, or more healthy?Anyway this is the size of it's lower pitchers at the moment.

Last photo of my Nep, this one of it's newset ready-to-open pitcher. It's still red, and the top hasn't come off yet in the photo. In real life it 'popped open' today, but it's still not fully open yet. I don't know why, but for some reason it seems rather grand looking to me. What do you think?

This is my Sarracenia. The ruler markings are a little hard to see, but it's about 30cm high, meaning it's only about 3 years old, and so not yet ready to flower. And I love sarracenia flowers too...

Last photo, this one of my Sarracenia, showing the markings on the pitcher lid. It vaguely looks like a S. Leucophylla to me, but it's not white enough. Is this because it's young, a hybrid, or not a Leucophylla at all? Anyone know?

Anyway that's all my Nepenthes and Sarracenia photos. I also have a Drosera Capensis and Venus Fly Trap, but I don't yet have photo's of them. Hope you enjoyed looking at these photo's.
