I bought and saved a Nepenthes from a local garden center this spring and it FINALLY is producing pitchers!!! Can someone ID it, there was no tag on the plant but I suspect ALATA or Ventricosa?
oh boy this is gonna be tough..... its not ventricosa the pitchers are too funnel shape. so its either alata or the hybrid of ventricosa and alata.....Ventrata. roght now i rely cant tell nor will anyone else for sure. but odds are it is Ventrata. congrats on your new pitcher. my ventrata is finally making a pitcher... and i got it in november!!! my ventricosa is also making some.

Sounds like you folks agree, this was a local well know garden center in our area, not Home Depot or Lowes. I was surprised because they normally just carry your normal 'typical' VFTs. This Nep was BONE DRY when I bought it too. It's doing great!
Hey Tom congrats on the first pitcher! I remember the excitement too! Ventrata is always a great plant, but beware, now that you have the bug this might happen to you:
