I would believe it. I don't think he would lie. I have a lowlander, insignis x merrilliana... It looks EXACTLY like maxima.
'tis true. It's identical.

D, you will love your N. izumiae! Those pitchers will darken to almost black as they age, with a glossy BLACK peristome. It is a wonderful species.
That doesn't surprise me about the hybrid turning out like a maxima; as I mentioned to you recently, many crosses completely lose the visual traits of one or more parents when species like maxima are involved. I have a plant of N. Enigma, which is N. (belii X sibuyanensis) X N. inermis, and there is not a hint of either belii or inermis in it! It just looks like a stretched, kinda goofy sibuyanensis. Go figure.

@Mass: I will definetly be upgrading to a bigger tank soon. Next purchases will be for the plants health, not more plants.
@Heli: Thanks, can't wait for that pitcher to open
@Whim: I already love it
One of the reasons I got this plant was because the pitchers got so dark and the peristome is incredible. I have heard that this species grows really slowly like lowii. Does your izumiae grow slowly?
I remember that hybrid now. (Insignis x Thorelii) x (Macrophylla x Lowii)

Yes, it is quite a slow grower, almost as slow as lowii, in my experience. Although both of mine are still small (juvenile) plants; perhaps it is faster once it hits adolescence, as many species do.
@Whim: Slow is good I guess because they wont outgrow my tiny space
N. Tentaculata that I purchased about 3 and half months ago. It has finally settled in and adapted and is finally doing something! Just opened a new leaf and is now producing a pitcher or two. Its also produced 3 basals O_O

Why did you pot the cobra on the side of the pot, if I might ask? Just curious...
Lol! This made me chuckle
