Development of cephalotus

Greetings,

   I received the following Cephalotus as a division from a larger plant on April 1.  The 2 pitchers in the center were still green and had their lids closed.  As soon as they opened, I knew the plant had recovered and was ready to grow.

This photo was taken 2 months later and at a slightly different angle.  The new pitchers are rapidly developing.

Very nice.
What kind of lighting does the plant get?
 
Nice color. Is it kept outside?
 
Nice color. Is it kept outside?

It would fry up outside here in Montana. I use a standard 4 tube 40 watt fluorescent unit. The lights are 50% cool white, 50% grow lights. I keep the plant 8" from the lights. I moved it 6" below the lights last week and the new pitchers turned deep purple/black.

Very nicely grown!

And on a similar note, I SUCK at growing Cephalotus
