This is a Nepenthes pitcher contest. ;-)
 
Well, don't I feel like a tart, lol. Let me switch hat out!
 
My first entry to POTM ever, this is the biggest pitcher that my N. Rajah x Mira has ever put out so far

Enjoy!
 
Great first entry Harow, I had a feeling this cross would turn out great despite skepticism from a few other growers and your photo confirmed it for me! Hope to see more of your images in future POTM's.
 
Thanks Red Lowii!
Will try to post more pics in the future :)
I'd have to say this N. Rajah x Mira is a little special though since it leans more towards the Rajah side so it might not be the best representation of the hybrid.
I definitely hope all N. Rajah x Mira turns out like this though considering that I do have another plant from the same batch :)

Loving the glabrata, I feel small pitchers aren't showcased enough

So far a lot of good entries.

Loving the glabrata, I feel small pitchers aren't showcased enough

Even smaller N. glabrata :-)). I cut the vine off last spring or fall? Either way it growing back nice and small as planned. Maybe 1" from top to bottom.

Always love the large gaping mouth that Lowii hybrids tend to produce
