why must you, and a few others, go around and pick on me?
Take a closer look. There are windows on the pitchers. HAS to have some kind of minor in it!
Why must you insist that you are right and everyone else is wrong?
There are many explainations for the fenestrations on the pitcher that do not include a minor parent. A lecuo could account for that, so could thripe damage. Ostiem said it might have been water but you conviniently ignored that remark (and yes later it turned out that it was not but you were set in your answer before he looked at the plant.) It could be a transposon based mutation that causes some cells to be defective in chloroplast function/expression. There are always alternative answers and ignoring them does not make them go away
You also ignore some basic genetic principles, like the fact that the minor hood trait is very highly expressed when it is a parent and there is zero indication of that trait in this plant.
All things being equal I am inclined to believe that this is a purp x leuco form. I have a couple leuco hybrids that exhibit that similar mottled aspect without the full blown white spotting that sometimes occurs. The leuco could also account for the shape of the lip quite easily
