After looking at these photos again, I was really struck by the delicate white/pink coloration of N. Caesarion. I don't think there are many plants that make such delicately-colored lowers, and I would gander that it's actually more difficult to breed a plant with this coloration than it is to breed a plant with unusually dark lowers. One can identify parents to use when breeding for dark pitchers (ramispina, lingulata, Eclipse, etc.), but what can you use to breed for light pink with a pale peristome?

I'd say merrilliana and veitchii were what lead to the light pink peri, though I think it will darken up as it ages as well.
