Nepenthes 'Miranda' Flower Sex: All-Male Clone, Need Female for Seeds

Robert's N. 'Miranda' produced a long brown flower stalk months ago, then a shorter one recently. Asked which is male/female and if both needed simultaneously.

Dioecious Reality

Nepenthes are single-sex. Most cultivated 'Miranda' are male clones. The older stalk shows yellow pollen (male). Comparison photo: exoticplantsplus.com. To get seeds, find a blooming female any Nepenthes species. Unlike Sarracenia (hermaphroditic flowers), you need opposite-sex plants blooming together. But crosses work easily once you have them.
