Oh ya... about the color change besides amount of light, it is also due to maturity factor. I noticed younger pitcher will usually have less intense coloration, as the nep slowly growing up, you'll start to see the pitcher color up and show more characteristic... My clone is flowering now... but it's a male...
hmm....so those are nectar dots....no wonder those ants are attracted to the whole pitcher instead of just the peristome and the lid areas....seems like somebody dropped a lollipop on it....ha ha ha

this mirabilis is the previous one i've got from you.....the new one has just produced 2 new pitchers....have to wait still (no need to wait for 9 months...but still cannot do scanning)....he he
