Oh man! I was hoping for doughnuts but those will do ;>

Things are picking up here too with the longer days and the sun getting stronger!

Hmm, I'm hoping it opens soon too I'm impatiently waiting on the densiflora X King of Spades, veitchii X boschiana and adrianni to open because they're the biggest in my collection. Also the lowii X truncata flared because maybe this pitcher will start having a nicer peristome I'm hoping...

Nice! Do your N. mikei pitchers actually mature to black as advertised by vendors? The leaf itself looks colorful.

Oh.. sorry, didn't see you there for a couple days

Here's a pic - they get pretty dark:

With a flash it's pretty dang black, but without, I'd say it's more of a really dark powder purple-grey maybe? It's pretty close to black in the Nepenthes world though imho.
