  1. Pitcher plants reproduce just like most other plants.  They make flowers

    that are fertilized by pollen to produce seeds that germinate and grow

    into the recognizeable pitcher plant.  Because humans are fascinated by

    the pitcher features, the flowers are rarely photographed.  If you check

    an image browser, you will find about 10% of the pictures will include a

    flowering pitcher plant.


  2. If you are looking for this plant, Nepenthes mirabilis ( see photo and second answer ):
