Cephalotus follicularis 'Hummer's Giant'

I've got a magic window!
I was watering my plants today and decided to snap a few pics of my Cephalotus follicularis.

Here is a picture of my Typical.

Here are some pics of my 'Hummer's Giant'
This is what the plant looked like when I purchased it.

It has grown a lot since then. This plant is in the same conditions as my typical, but has a nicer red color to it.
I also notice that the pitchers are a bit meatier then the typical pitchers.

How much time has passed since you aquired your Hummer's Giant? I have a young Giant similar to what yours used to look like and I'm wondering how fast yours has been growing.
 
Amazing!!! I cant beleev the perfect coloration and the awesome size! U must tell me the growing conditions
 
Thanks for the comments everyone.

LLeopardGGecko,
I got the plant early summer last year.

CaRnIvORoUs_FrEaK,
I grow my cephs in a terrarium, 10 gallon tank. I have 55 watts of light.
I have an air pump circulating fresh air, and about a 2" opening the length of the tank top.
Temps average I would guess summer: mid 80's / winter low 70's.
Humidity: around 50% during the day. Around 75% at night.
 
Awesome! My terrarium is very similar to that! I hope my plant will look like that one day! Although I doubt it.
