Cheers!
 
Excellent! How old is the N. ephippiata to be making the intermediate / uppers?

Thanks. I've had it almost five years, but it was at least 8 inches across. It's perhaps 30" across now, and that's the first true upper pitcher.
 
Thank you for sharing with us! Do you use pure live moss as a growing medium or is it only a top dressing?
 
I absolutely love ephippiata. However, the uppers kind of turn me off to the whole species. I'm in love with the pristine, striped, tight looking lowers of it. I've got plenty to look forward to, considering mine is only about 2". :lol:
 
30" across?!?! DANG! That upper pitcher is AAAWESOME!
 
I love the last picture, like the look of that curved/teethed peristome.

Cheers,
Frank

Without a doubt ephippiata is one of the single best species, imo. Both the lowers and uppers are top-notch. Thanks for posting the pics. It's going to be a long, long time til mine gets there..
