Pitcher of the Month January 2013

[Tony Paroubek]

You're correct Wireman this particular plant is darker and swings much more towards the N. aristolochioides side. The majority are not as dark and have a more green background with varying degrees of speckles and usually a striped peristome. I hope to see more examples from whoever has a plant or two, as they gain in size.

Wow, glad I got one of those from you, Tony. Even at a small size, the peristome is surprisingly thick. Should be something to look forward to.
