The amount of exudate made me really wonder. No pitcher before had so much exudate and also the newest pitcher doesn't show much of it yet.

I transfered the spathulata already to the basement after I noticed the first flower. So it's already nearly 3 months back. It'll be interesting nevertheless because of the many flowers. The pods of the flower stalk with 8 months old truncata pollen are already increasing size very much. If pollination wasn't successfull the pods didn't developed on this plant. So I guess that this old pollen was still viable.
Germination of the spathulata's seeds always took 3 months. So this will be quite a long time for seeing how the plant took the transferring and the lots of flower stalks.
