Is that your ailing N. ventricosa? That might be a bit early, but count the weedier species in your collection. Chances are high for D. capensis, D. burmannii, etc...
Yeah, that's the Nepenthes Ventricosa.
I bought the soil from a carnivorous plant nursery and used it for the Nepenthes. Therefore, it could be any sundew because none of my sundews have flowered yet.
Almost certainly capensis. I should know... my plants are infested with them.
Here's a tip: Put your ventricosa and/or ventrata into a mix of coconut mulch, or something quick draining. I've seen that peat moss usually does more harm than good; it retains too much water. That's from personal experience.
Cheers and good luck!

I'll repot it later this year. I don't want to disturb the sundew until it's well established.
