This is a lovely miniature form of the species and although from a
wild population, it was legitimately described as a cultivar by Dave
Evans in the ICPS Carnivorous Plant Newsletter, published in
March 2009."
Beautiful plant. I've passed up the chance of getting one on several occasions. I might have to pick one up the next time I have an opportunity. It would be nice to have a maxima that doesn't reach monstrous proportions.
Lovely Cindy! Mine are not that colorful yet but its would assume working on it. I have two lake Paso and two wavy leafs. So far the wavys are not too wavy. But we will see. I don't want to hijack so asking if you want others to share?

I have the plant growing in lowland conditions in a breadbox (away from direct sunlight to prevent overheating), together with N. adnata which I killed at least 5 plants before finding that the method works. I have yet to see how it does when the hot weather returns again...but the setup has been exposed to rather low light levels for the past few months and the pitchers have got great colours. My lowest temperature is about 75F and highest is 85F at the moment. It will go up to the range of 78F-95F in a few weeks' time, with some nights hitting 84F.
The plant arrived with pitchers like the following...
Very nice plant Cindy!
I acquired this plant as "N. eymae", but as everybody know, almost no-one have the real deal. My plant looks very different from yor maxima, but I would like to know your oppinion...
¿What do you think, eymae or maxima?
Tuuagso, I do not grow any other highland as my conditions are lowland year round with warm to hot nights (being in the city)...so I can't tell the difference between highland species.
