Regarding requests for more data with plants, I second that! WHENEVER I
have location data for a plant I save it jealously! Sometimes location
information is critically useful in keying a plant. For example, I have
been trying to cross-pollinate African clones of _U.livida_ with a
Mexican clone (the range of _U.livida_ is very strange). For a genus
like _Nepenthes_, information such as elevation, habit, and local
conditions would be very useful---not only for the taxonomist but also
the horticulturist.
Regarding those Pings with orbs...

Other than leaves, the only normal thing to appear in the rosette center
are flowers. Get ready to key them out! Use Don Schnell's book since they
are almost certainly N.American plants, and probably _P.caerulea_ at that
since that's what PPauls usually sells.
