So weird? Nepenthes mostly flowering on winter(but some can flower all the time) My female just start grow now : ) I've already beg for pollen ^_^ If your Nepenthes flowering again asked me I'll ask my friend for pollen :D
Flowers are long gone WarmNapat : (
I think these flowers have already rotten, haven't them? You're spotted it in August so.. long time ago.

Oh I see It's a female! you should ask someone in the website for pollen! It's not so easy to breed it but You should try it ^.^ comfortably put your pollen on the stigma
Okay! Thanks WarmNapat if it flowers again I will try to save some seed.
Wow! It have a little different between male and female especially when they fully grown If it's a male flower you should use plastic bag to cover it from pollination by wind ! and you collected it. You can reading column involved with Nepenthes in www.thaicps.com or www.siamproplants.com you can transfer some pollen and they will give 50% of seed for you to grow!
I have just looked at some images of male and female Nepenthes flowers on the internet but can't find any that are the same. Will take a photo of the plant and add it as a spotting for you to see : )
I've no idea WarmNapat. A friend gave me a small plant for my birthday three years ago . I have it growing in a big pot on the patio. It threw one flower spike which lasted quite a while.
Wow! Are that female flower?
