Try this plant. It's native to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, and researchers didn't discover this plant until 2004.  The pitchers have a unique toilet shape, so the plant was affectionately called jamban, which means toilet in Indonesian. 

This is a vigorous grower, and despite its highland status, it grows well as a houseplant and produces a rambling vine.  Pitchers range from reddish orange to green.  As a highlander, however, it prefers very cool nights.  Other than that, it’s very easy to care for.  Keep the soil moist at all times and provide lots of sunlight through a sunny south or east window.
