My "mystery nep" has finally pitchered...sort of.
A clone of the parent plant pitchered. mama still has none, but mama doesn't fit under my lights so we're at the mercy of Mother Nature.
You may have seen the shots of pitchers that others have had with cuttings of this plant:

One is working on two lower pitchers, but the other plant (I think this was a cutting and the other a division of the rhizome) flowered and then FINALLY pitchered. The peristome looks redder in these pics (at least on my monitor). It has red and orange stripes that are more pronounced than on here.

"turn to your left"
and the obligatory "pitcher with hand for size reference" shot:
I'm really curious to see the size of mama's first pitcher. She'll have to wait a bit until she can go outside and get more sunlight.
