N. ampullaria Appreciation Thread!

Seeing the success of Sundrew's Raff appreciation thread I figured I would start one for my favorite species of Nepenthes... N. ampullaria! So share pictures of your plants species and hybrids involving amps!

Here are a few of mine, taken with my new camera!
Even seedlings are freaking awesome!

I see you're having fun with the macro lens.
 
I love my N. ampullaria 'Lime Twist,' though now it's getting deformed from being root-bound.

My 'Lime Twist' is an unstable piece of crap. It's putting out 3 basals and it's only about 4 inches wide. I've also had it over a year... Mine has a lot to aspire to based off of everyone elses plants...

@Graham, indeed I am. My inexperience with Macros shows but I'll learn.
 
I'd love for my 'lime twist' to start shooting out basils! It's at 6" at least now. It's putting out a pretty big pitcher that should open in a day or two. I'll post it here when the happens.
 
i absolutely love the first and last one melson!!!!! they are beauties :D
