Pitcher plant @ Grand Century Plaza

To my surprise I have found a pot of pitcher plant outside the Grand Century Plaza, Mong Kok. I am quite surprised to see it there as it is listed as an endangered species in CITES. It is in Appendix II, which means the following: "Appendix II includes species not necessarily threatened with extinction, but in which trade must be controlled in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival. " (from "How CITES works")

It looks nice, isn't it?
