6. Sequential pictures showing opening of a pitcher are fine as long as all pictures are taken within the month of the contest.

Good luck!!

-->I reserve the right to drool over campanulata species and hybrid pics. Also, I will NOT be entering any plant for serious consideration in this competition for placement. If I do, please smack-talk me
 
I know I wont win but I thought I might give it a try with my first entry :D. Its finally of age!

That's always a nice looking N. x trumadiensis

Here's my entry. This is a career loser of the POTM contest, but I will continue entering it because I continue to find it improving and becoming more impressive. :p

Anyway, take it or leave it:

N. ventricosa x glandulifera

x TM get's my 14 votes. Very nice Brok.
 
Nice hamata, nice TM, but I'll compliment Dex for showing me that beautifully patterned lid underside of his ventricosa x glandulifera :)

Thank you Edward. I very much enjoy when this plant gets compliments. :-D

I can't wait for the ventricosa x glandulifera to make uppers. They're going to be so strange looking!
Next month........ I'll be ready in 30 days......

I don't see this posted in Pitcher Of the Month contests that often, so why not?

N. reinwardtiana var. samarindaensis

Careful, the pitcher has eyes...

I love it! To be honest, I wish we'd see more of the full breadth of pitcher styles the genus has to offer. IMO some of the more "plain" species are the most elegant. Thanks for sharing that exquisite reinwartdiana!

Ventricosa x insignis

That could possibly be the single ventricosa hybrid I legitimately like. :jester:

If it were a bit longer and had a thicker peristome, it could pass as a burkeii. :jester:
