Flower of the carniverous pitcher plant

This pitcher plant is of the genus Nepenthes, of which there are about 170 species worldwide, plus a number of hybrids and cultivars. The pitcher is a modified leaf, at the bottom of which is nectar that lures insects and other small critters who become trapped and devoured by the plant. 

Pitcher plants inhabit the warmer parts of the world including tropical rain forests. A few are endemic to Australia but as yet I'm unable to identify this one as its pitchers have died off for the cooler seasons. Why look attractive when there's nothing to catch? 

This plant came to us from SeriousFrolic and MrSF who believed it was failing to thrive at their place. The Resident Gardener provided it with water only. Feeding them is counter productive as they get all they need from their prey. All very interesting, but imagine our surprise and delight when it put out this magnificent flower! My main shows its layers of petals, an expired pitcher and some new leaf growth which will likely turn into pitchers. The extra shows the flower soon after opening. 

Thanks for hosting BikerBear. A happy and safe weekend to you all.
