The first pitcher on this cutting-produced plant, acquired as an un-rooted cutting in September 2011:

Wow!

Amazing! This makes me wonder what we will get from the seed!

Hey! She's mine! Get your own. LOL!

Is it a lower pitcher or more intermediate?

Well now, that's a good question. This is the first pitcher produced from a cutting of upper growth, and if the behavior of this cutting follows the pattern I am led to believe is the case, then this is an upper pitcher. Upper vines used as cuttings produce upper pitchers. When it produces a basal shoot, it will make lowers.

Oh, very interesting, I didn't know that. Amazing photo.

That is unfortunately not always the case. Ive seen examples of where cuttings from upper vines go straight into lowers or intermediates first before going into uppers. I think that that cutting of yours is producing intermediates first before uppers. Ive recieved two cuttings from ep that were clearly from a vine section of the plant buwent into lowers rather than uppers. Strange?

In any case its a beautiful plant! Im lucky enough to get my lowii x ventricosa to produce a basal for me so pretty soon i will be posting some lowers of the plant. Ive also found it to be true that if the growth point dips below the soil the plant will produce a basal, this has happened to my tobaica x lowii recently.

Love the coloration! I had no idea there was a third registered cultivar of this grex. Thanks for sharing.

I doubt this is a registered cultivar, but it is a "recognized" selection that has circulated through collections.
