Upper pitchers of N. fusca "Sarawak"?

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any pictures of upper pitchers of N. fusca "Sarawak"? My plant's internode length has increased quite a bit lately and it's sporting 8-9" long pitchers. So, I'm just curious as to what upper pitchers will look like.

I figure since the lowers look a lot different from the regular N. fusca, the uppers will too, so that's why I'm specifically asking bout this plant.

Thanks,

Give me a few to track mine down and I'll post some.
 
Alright, here we go.

These three are probably more intermediate than upper

And here is an upper

Oh cool, thanks. I guess it's not as impressive as the regular N. fusca's uppers. But dang, that thing's huge!

What am I supposed to do as it grows bigger and bigger? I have it growin' on a shelf under lights...

I don't know much, but that is a pretty impressive looking intermediate pitcher.

xvart.

Yeah they definitely are pretty impressive, although I tend to like how they look before they darken up and become encrusted with nectar. :p

My plant has already produced a pitcher with a considerably less amount of wings on it, so I think that it may (hopefully) start making uppers.

It'll probably be a while before yours gets that large :)

These are pics of one of the few original plants to cultivation, back before they were even known to be a form of fusca. Charles Clarke mis-ID'd them as faizaliana back during the Atlanta ICPS conference if that gives you an idea of how old they are.
