Wee Kiat,

I doubt that high-tension wires would have much effect anyway.
Has anyone been able to identify and certain plant(s) which has
upper pitchers and track it? Like, come back in following years
to see if it still grows the upper pitchers? Perhaps this is
evidence of hybridization many generations ago, which have been
back crossed with N.ampullaria?
