N.ampullaria...what seems to be an intermediate pitcher.

Nice color on that! Why do you say that it is intermediate? Is it because of the tendril length?

Yeah..and it's pretty far up on the plant....the plant itself is two feet tall.

Thanks. I have had it right around the 6 month mark (July-Aug) and it has nearly doubled in size since then. I have no complaints with this one. One of my best and fastest growers and also has some of the best looking pitchers I have ever seen in person.

Pitchers are going to get big! This one is around 5-6 inches already!

I'm really loving this hybrid so far: N. spectabilis "Giant" x spathulata
