Thanks for the compliments. I'm not sure which form it is, it was sold to me as just "n. spectabilis".
This shot was taken with a Canon 20D with a Canon 100mm macro lens on a tripod with a remote shutter release. Mirror lockup and manual focus were used. No special lighting, just the grow lights in my plant rack (2 x T8's, daylight spectrum).

Someday is not a day of the week.
Here's a quick shot of the entire plant. It's a relatively small plant in a 4" pot. That's the magic of the macro shot...
My Nepenthes are on a metro shelf in front of a large NE facing window. I'm using a pair of 32w daylight T8's with a timer set for 16 hour photoperiods, with the bulbs about 6" away from the soil surface. I also hung a sheet of reflective material on the side of the shelf opposite the window.
Temps are whatever it is in the house. The lights add a noticeable amount of warmth during the day, and being near a large window adds a little extra cooling at night. These days, that comes out to low 70's during the day, low 60's at night. My Nepenthes are watered twice a week with RO/DI water and fed mealworms once a week.

my soul for CP.
Damn. I've been putting off ordering anything and this was one plant that I was going back and forth with...until seeing your freakin' pics. So yes, I caved and caved instantly and ordered one! Nice work...doubt mine will do that well but you've given me hope with your average house conditions. Just gorgeous.
