I bought my first nepenthes on a trip to Longwood Gardens. Can anyone identify the cultivar please?

It has hair on the lid as well as on the pit, a red tint, a possibly bumpy peristome, hairs on the edges of the leaf, and slightly bulbous pitchers

Not to be a bummer. Unless the cultivar has some sort of super rare accentuation, its virtually impossible to identify them. And a lot of mass produced (box/garden store) ones are unknown crosses

It could be nepenthes alata
