BTW. Your hot lip kuchingensis has really nice colors. Should take a closeup picture when you have time. ;-) How old is the 2 plants? Mine, pitcher is still small.

Thanks for the comment. I grew the plants for about 1 year now and the "pink" already started to show it's going to vine.

so to conclude, the level of pinkish and reddish tint on the pitchers might have effect from the level of lights exposed to the plant and pitchers beside the 'hidden' gene in the plant? does this also effect on your n.mirabilis where it has pinkish tint on its pitchers?

Yes, the development of pinkish and reddish coloration due to high light level is one of the traits for some N. mirabilis varieties. Your N. mirabilis should get reddish if getting enough light.
