So if you are not familiar with Nep plants, you'll walk pass them without noticing them. It makes it even harder because amps do not usually have pitchers up in their vines. Occasionally some uppers, but that's it.

In this particular site, the vines travel horizontally under other weeds and ferns for a couple of meters long before they bend upwards out. Those pictures of their inflorescence are examples of the vines.
