Might as well kick this off. Winter's well and truly over, and my N. burbidgeae x robcantleyi seems to be making up for lost time. This is double the size of its last pitcher, will probably update as the colouration on the peristome improves:

Previous pictures shown here, although the first one is ineligible since it was taken in late November. Nice to see the progression though.

Ending the year with an interesting pitcher from my N. Singalana x Aristolochioides :-))

Hah!

You sure there isn't a coconut tree somewhere in that parentage?

Haha, with that "pitcher," who knows? Honestly, I've got it on a windowsill with some of my hardier neps, so sometimes temps and humidity are less than ideal. Plus, it shot out a really vigorous basal over the summer, so I suspect between throwing all of its energy into that, plus now being a tad cramped in the pot, it just didn't feel like expending the energy to make a proper pitcher. Hope it does soon though, as silly as this is, it's normal pitchers are some of my favorites.
