Paul, yours looks huge! Could you possibly take a picture of the entire plant?
I'll get a plant shot later today. Zooming in on a lone pitcher can be deceiving; that pitcher is really only 1.75" tall, give or take!
Definitely a bit larger than mine, but I hope to be at that point soon. Didn't you say you were able to hand-pick yours? Lucky son of a...
Indeed, I selected that plant out of a batch of about 50 individuals. I chose one that looked to have vigor (bigger than its siblings) but more importantly, I selected one that appeared to have darker coloring and clearly visible teeth on the peristome.

Buy em' all!! And keep the nursery as your gift.
haha well, I think you made a wise decision, Paul. That is a very healthy plant. On a side note, I think this cross has earned a place in my heart as a top hybrid.
