Thanks for adding more pics but unfortunately it doesn't help me any further. I think the stem is the long and thicker white piece, I'm pretty sure this is the flower of a shrub of small tree, while pitcher plant would have a thin and flexible stem, with no woodiness.

I have added a few new pictures of the same plant. The leaves and stem seem to be very similar to that of the pitcher that was in that area.

Wow yeah I didn't see that. Hopefully this lead helps a little. More photos of the plant or close ups of the flower may help.

As you can see from how long that I have had the photo, and tried to identify it, I don't have any idea at all what it is!
Dan Doucette
That's really cool! Not sure what it is but possibly in the unusual family Marcgraviaceae.
