I guess I'll start us off with a 5 day old pitcher of N. "Carmen" spathulata x campanulata. I'll update as it colors up more.

hopefully I can influence the voters of TF better this time around.

you need to work on your white balance and cropping;)
But I will admit the plant and pitcher looks good!
 
my shoddy attempt at getting the color to look like how it looks in real life, my camera does a horrible job at catching the true color, which is a shame. I will probably retake the photo in natural light, which seems to do a lot better job at capturing the color.
 
My color is a little over saturated as well since it was taken at night under artificial light. This is my first ever POTM entry so go easy on me guys :jester:
I'll take a better photo when it darkens up a bit. Here's ventricosa x spectabilis 'giant':

Thats a gorgeous hybrid! I was under the impression that those were never released! Does the peristome fold back more than that? Either way I just got one upped pretty hard haha. Great entry!
 

That is beautiful, Marc. Now I can put my feet up and skip this month. I got nothing to compete with that ;-)

Thank you Paul ;-) but i'm confident you have something that can easily compete lurking in the depth of that GeinHouse!

East_to_west : Thank you too, the peristome fortunately does not roll back much on this clone. Here is the previous pitcher, a few months old and a little less colored up, when I was growing the plant in more shady conditions
