I went to down load a photo into the database.It ask what the photo is of and gives a list of terms,i don't know which to pick.I would appreciate any help.

this is the photo i'm having trouble with.It's a Winged pitcher plant 'Nepenthes alata'

This is the whole plant,the top photo grows on the end of the leaves


I didn't realize how out of focus the 1st. photo is,may need to take another but i would still like to know what to call the "pitcher's"

It is a Nepenthes, Pithcher Plant. If you can show a clear photo of the pitcher, a species / cultivar may be determined.

If I remember correctly, the "pitchers" are modified leaves, so it would be appropriate to click the box for Leaves.

I thought she was asking is the "pitcher" called a "bloom" or what?

As Kent pointed out, the "pitcher" is part of a specialized leaf.

The photo not being clear, I'm not sure that the plant is N. alata, as there are many hybrids being sold as that.

So in the database i should mark leaf to download a picture of the pitcher on the end of the leaf?

Here's the only other picture i have,if it's not clear enough i will take another.


Thanks for the links!!!

I looked at the few in the database and the N.ventricosa also looks a lot like the plant i have as far as the pitcher on the end of the leaves.They do have a kind of lid looking thing that's raised above the top.It was also marked Tropical pitcher plant and came from a nursery.It said it was green house grown from tissue culture.If that means anything,i know how label's and plants get mixed up or moved around to sale them.

I just want to care for it correctly!!

Info on Nepenthes alata.

There are several varieties, and many hybrids.

A diagram should help ..
