Holy jeezus that's nice! WOW I wish I could grow the heck out of a spectabilis like that!!!

I like the stripes.

 

[UnstuckinTime]

Do the stripes stay or does the red eventually take over as the pitcher matures?

 

[Whimgrinder]

@Unstuck: the stripes stay unsullied by red (or any other pigment) for the life of the pitcher. (At least that is how it has behaved for me so far; I have had it less than a year) I bought this seedling specifically because the peristome didn't turn red with age.

Nice! How big is the pitcher?

 

[Whimgrinder]

@roko: that pitcher is about 8" tall. It is a seed grown plant and is still quite young. I expect this will eventually make much larger pitchers.
