My 'Hummer's Giant' has colored up nicely. It lost a couple of the smaller pitchers when it was adjusting after shipping, but now it has started two new pitchers and what I think to be 2 non-carnivorous leaves in the last picture. If this is the case, then I think I am going to try to propagate this one when the leaves develop.
 
Awesome ceph! Though it isn't big enough to eat pennies, you will choke it! :nono:
 
fantastic plants B! damn! My camera died but I'll post up pics of my rooted cephs soon. :)
 
Very nice. I too have a couple of seed-grown Cephalotus and it's always interesting to see which quirks get expressed. Good luck . . .
 
very nice kris, looks like they need a new ruler! I can see the adult pitcher look like it has a different shape then the clones.
 
I got mine a few months back and it's about to open an inch tall pitcher! I'm so excited to see what it looks like!!!! All it's other pitchers are under a centimeter. BEAUTIFUL CEPHS everybody!!!!

Pictures! Show us pictures!!
 
Here are a few seed-grown Cephalotus plants from 2004-5 and you can see the wide variability from a single batch of seeds. One set of plants yielded large pitchers to 5.8 cm (2.3") and the others, more conventional-sized Cephalotus at 3.8 cm (1.5"). Another batch from a year later (last photo) also yielded larger, more vigorous plants with pitchers in the 5.8-6 cm range . . .
