So you think your pitcher is big.....

That 'mid-rib' is also very significant & makes me wonder if the pitcher is indeed still growing?

The pitcher is not inflating anymore, and if any, it is negligible. The opening of the lid is the only attribute that is still in flux, but I believe that too, is near its end. As it sits, the pitcher length from lid to bottom is 10.1 cm or 4 inches.

However, two babies are emerging and another waiting game commences.

The wide midrib is characteristic of the Hummer's giant as you mentioned in an older thread. Here are two pitchers on the same plant (representative of normal pitcher size for this plant), and as you can see they have long ceased inflating, despite the wide midrib. This one does whatever it desires, according to its own whims, to spite me - of course.

Less light = bigger pitchers.

I really like your green pitchers, i never saw big ones like yours. Well done.

Impressive indeed! My cephalotus is flowering too, although no thanks to me (it was already doing it when I got it).
