UPDATE:
Good news!
Joachim, looks like you called it on your last post with regards to settling in time with Albo’s. Although no full pitcher just yet, the oldest well formed tendril has slowly elongated and the pitcher bud is starting to swell and form a more pitcher-like appearance.
If you look at the latest picture above, it is the second fully formed leaf on the right (after the vining has started and is pointing towards the green Maxima pitcher) that is swelling. Since that leaf the plant has produced 4 or 5 new fully formed leaves, there is a half-formed leaf unfurling and a new leaf tip. They are ALL forming longer tendrils and are starting to swell their pitcher buds.
So that's my good news
and it looks like only a matter of time now.
The interesting thing is that this is one of my oldest plants, yet is the only plant I have that has not yet pitchered. Sure was testing my patience!
Aaron.
