Here are two peristome photos of two different pitchers on
my N. x Mixta 'Superba' that was given to me by Kirk
(kirkwmartin on terraforums). I was suprised to receive this
plant as a free 2 node cutting in 2003 during a NECPS meeting.
I remember that there was no basal shoot on Kirk's plant at the
time of the cutting. The plant I have now is now nearly 4 feet
across and sits in my office lowland chamber under LED lights.

Dave, I remember that plant from the show! If I'm right, isn't that the one with that awesome magenta coloration on the pitchers?

N. lowii custard tastes pretty good!
 
"Recent studies in the field suggest that this particular species may have moved away from a solely (or even primarily) carnivorous nature and be adapted to "catching" animal droppings, especially those of birds and tree shrews." -wikipedia.org

lol, lowii custard, yeah Clint...I don't think that's a very...safe idea

:-))
 
Sure it is! Did it in front of everyone at the ATL botanical gardens!

My father almost DIED when he saw me do that lmao.
