Black Bical?

Hiya Fellow Nep'ers-

Has anyone ever heard of, have a picture or even seen a black bical (thats healthy and not in its death throes)????

The darkest color form of the fanged pitcher that I know of is the "Super Red" but a black bical question was brought up somewhere else. Thought I'd give it a shot here.

Good Growing Everyone, :boogie:

This N. Bicalcarata belongs a to fellow canadian grower Rick Hillier

This is the blackest I've seen on a bical:

ooo that's pretty black. I'd love for there to be a completely black variety.
 
WOAH! That is SO sick! What form is that Carn?
 
Ohh~ very cool ! What a evil tooths.
Thanks for your sharing.
 
What in blue blazes is behind that bical?!?! The green thing behind the lid?
I mean really, doesn't anyone else see that?
 
Beautiful coloration on that plant! It should become a cultivar.
 
JustJack: It's a spur.

I'm sure you know this, but its a generalization of nep pitcher structure, lots more neps have spurs.
