Bruce, it's lovely. Is that color pretty close to true? It almost looks like a rosy coral shade on my monitor, and I'm loving it!!

I have not seen Nepenthes ventricosa bloom before, but I guess every plant does at some point. Check it out.

Yes, the color is true. The pitcher is a rosy coral. It starts off green and turns more red, then to tan before it falls off. The blooms are all green with a slight reddish color on the bases.

Very cute, Bruce! Is it in bloom for a while? I can see something that looks like bloom (more than one). Is that right and is it the same color? How the buds look like? Too many questions?
Margarita, this is the first time to see this guy bloom, so I am not sure. I believe each of the little flowers is an individual bloom and will produce a seed (or maybe many seeds). When it was in 'bud' I can assume it did not have the little petals, but honestly, I really do not know.

Very spacy !
I like the rose color , I never saw once of similar color
hi bruce,
maybe it blooms only once in a century? lol
do they open or is that the last stage?
congrats
I *think* that is the open bloom. If you look close, it looks as if there are some petals on several of the little points. But- I honestly have no idea... LOL! It is new to me. It makes sense that it would bloom, but I guess I never thought about it having anything but the pitchers... IDK~!
Cheers,

neat Bruce!
Can you get a better/closer shot of the flowers, Bruce? I'm curious as to what sex your plant is. Seeds are not in your future, sorry Bruce. Neps are dioecious -- plants are either male or female.
