Excess nectar will not rot the peristome. The peristome, which is regularly nectar covered, is supposed to be that way. That's how the trapping mechanism works....
The worst you can get from excess nectar is a powdery white or black mildew. Peristomes are EOEs . Regardless of the color, its totally harmless, unless you're offended by its unsightlyness.
Yeahhhhno. Where do you get this information? There is absolutely no evidence that I'm aware of that even suggests that Nepenthes nectar contains any sort of intoxicant whatsoever.
well maybe the insects are not disorientated by the nectar after all bumble bees look drunk when they fly around in circles and loops.
I just head someone say something maybe it was a joke about the rodent but somewhere I did hear that sarracenia nectar could intoxicate bumblebees and I was guessing that nepenthes nectar could probably do the same..
nice picture Nate!!
