Identifying Nepenthes: 'Miranda' and deRoose's 'Alata'

A Toronto grower's two large Nepenthes were identified as Nepenthes 'Miranda' (a common, vigorous hybrid). A third plant with winged pitchers was Nepenthes deRoose's 'Alata' (ventricosa × alata) × alata, another vigorous, widely sold hybrid.

The grower also had Drosera linearis, a native Canadian species needing cool winters and short summers—explaining why it thrives in Canada but not Oregon.
