I have two nepenthes about to flower, N. x rokko and N. mirabilis. Still to
early to tell if they are male or female and it's the first time flowering for
both. I will be out of town for a week -no question they will be at their peak
while I am gone- so here's the question: Are there natural pollinators likely
to be around for these if they happen to be male and female? The plants are
outdoors and my Sarrs. seem to pollinate (usually) but then again Sarrs. are
native. What if I stick them next to each other?

Otherwise, any body interested have any other Nepenthes in a similar
condition?

Suggestions welcome.
