venricosa x ?

K this is a lowes rescue. I at first thought it was ventricosa but now I'm pretty darn sure it's not pure. Any ideas?

from lowes? probably ventrata.
 
I don't think it's a ventrata, maybe backcrossed into ventricosa.. the pitchers just dont have the neck for it I believe...maybe it's just the noob speaking.
 
Looks like my N. ventricosa pitchers looked before they started to mature. I put some coffee on mine and in a couple months it was developing more maturish pitchers, I'll take a snapshot if you want, where you can see mature vs. immature.
 
Reminds me vaguely of khasiana.
 
@soopa Yeah, I would love to see some pics.
 
I'd also say it is a Ventrata, here's some pictures of mine when it was younger, looks pretty similiar

I got one of those from low's that looke exactly like that and I called the nursery on the container they said they only do ventricosa and sanguinae. Now that it's 9" across it is putting out a typical ventricosa pitcher with less spotting
