Default Is this raff x amp?

I received some raff x ? seeds a few years ago and this is my largest and best looking one.

Is this raff x amp? The seeds came from the Atlanta Botanical gardens and according to the person I got them from the other neps in bloom were raff, truncata, alata and bical males, but amp was there in another part of the greenhouse.
If iirc, he agreed they must be raff x amp but I wanted to ask you LL nep experts now that it's putting out bigger pitchers.
Thanks

PICS

The spur thingy is actually quite common among N. x hookeriana. If one of the parent can be confirm as N. ampullaria, then I believe the other parent would be N. rafflesiana by observing the wings, lid and tendril. N. bicalcarata's tendril will get thicker as it near the pitcher.

Still, the best is to also check the stems and leaves to get a more accurate observation.

If that's the case...then I also think it's a hooker.

The lid standing straight up (from N. ampullaria) and the spur on the peristome (from N. rafflesiana) is a trade mark of N. x hookeriana. Wow... where did you get this beauty??
