N. tenuis pics (bring in yours...)

While checking my plants, I'm regularly drawn to my N. tenuis. It's an amazingly robust grower, spitting out new pitchers in both the summer & winter. Because of this great tendency, it's almost impossible for me to yank it out of it's home to get decent pics. While looking for other pics, there is Nep 101 & his monster & Thez's. While looking at pics of Thez's plant, I realized her pitchers were quite different than mine, even though the plants didn't look all that different size-wise...

Here's mine from December (with friends - in office terrarium):

Let's see some more pics.... :-O
 
@ron: Thez's N. tenuis is a true N. tenuis. The pitchers are like that initially, but become more "N. tenuis" like later---and it is quite a development jump, within two pitchers you can get from Thez's shape to your shape. how do i know? cuz it happened to me! XD

i know a crappy picture, but at least it's showing you what im talking about:

Oh, those are old pics Ron - that's how the plant came to me from AW and since then, it has made pitchers like these:

Hi,

Here's the latest pitcher on my plant. I have had problems with the growth points dieing on it. A good thing is that it produces side shoots readily. The pitchers produces a very slimy liquid.
