N. eustachya lower pitcher
N. eustachya is a gorgeous plant, with a interesting collar of spots just inside the pitcher and below the peristome.  It is an excellent highland plant, well worth the effort to grow it, and can be grown from seedling to maturity in under two years.  Pitchers can be fairly short-lived, however.
