Hey Tony i took the best pics i could took it out of the grow chamber and put it next to the window for natural lighting but its a crappy dark day, took some like that then took some with flash. It has very beautiful pitchers and many more developing.

Hope this helps.. Can ya tell me what it is?????

THANKS TONS!!!!
 
ventrata
 
Yessum, that's a ventrata, or I guess alata x (alata x ventricosa)
 
Sure looks like N. Ventrata. Safe to say it isn't pure N. alata.
 
Thanks guys atleast i know what it is now, funny thing it grows like GANG BUSTERS the 2 growths ya see in the pic, less than 5 months ago they were as tiny as a quarter, the main plant that wasnt doing well and was very scraggly/sickly i whacked to get a cutting rooted. This nep didnt do well in a bright window with misting twice a day i then moved it to the green house and it picked up and when i moved it inside for the winter into the lowland chamber it took right off and is growing like CRAZY and pitchering.. Other than Jens Bical and my Miranda and Hookriana this is by far the fastest growing nep i got.
 
Generally alata has a longer neck than ventrata. Its is for the most part hence very distinguishable from an alata. Here is an exaggerated form of alata called alata 'elongata'.
