I personally enjoy the species. Most people find this plant kind of boring, and arcross most of it's range, it kind of is. Their are some really nice plant though, and are a few color varities. Their are some cut thorat, varites, red, dar red plants that are almost black, and the normal plant. The common name of this plant is the pale pitcher plant. It is called this becuase of it's flower, which is the palest of it's genus. The flowers can be pale yellow to almost white.
