Wow! I don't know what's crazier, the pitcher in pitcher, or the pitchers that size plant produces with such a small leaf size!
 
It would be funny if it grew large enough to rip the 'host' apart!
 
Nice Pitchers...

I see that a lot on my Ventratas that are big cluttered masses of basal shoots

Beautiful first shot and very humorous second shot! XD
 
Those pitchers are HUGE for that leaf size, my goodness!
This looks so funny! XD I was JUST thinking about pitchers growing inside pitchers this morning, too.

It really looks amaizing, I have not seen somthing like that before, also it looks nice how the wings of the "host" continues in the new pitcher
