What does that thing eat, birds?

Very impressive! Do you keep it outside?
 
wow that things huge. you did a great job!

this may be off topic, but howcome some flava openings (peristome?) are really round, but some others including his are "pinched" like then near the front?
 
Dear me!
That thing is really tall! It must be really slender, too. It looks like the mouth is barely over an inch wide.

Well now.... I am only 16 inches taller than that pitcher... Hubby keeps telling me I'm short....... would this be proof?

AMAZING! The pics dont show now, but I saw them yesterday on the cpuk forum! Do you think my 20 inch S. alata 'black' x flava 'red' could compete?

Well, might be able to compete for beauty, but definately not for height!
