Oh yea jimmy...I think it would get to the darker red side and less umm shiny :)
 
I still don't see why this was called "Viking". :scratch:

Apparently it looks like a Viking ship prow... does anyone have a picture that illustrates that?
 
If i remebered correctly "viking" was used by sellers in thailand cos its shape of the pitcher looks like a viking ship...

(The curve on the pitcher body which is like the ship.)

Mine is not a very good example but if u search the net you will see those klom viking forms which are really rounded and well.... viking-ish
 
names dont necessarily mean it "looks" like something..
someone probably just named it "Viking" because they thought it was a cool name..nothing more.

I see no resemblance to a viking ship:

flip the boat around, look at it from a seat inside the ship......the way the ship rises up like the way the peristrome does meeting the lid of the pitcher......and yes it was called Viking for this reason......
 
Nice looking Nepenthes. How about a side shot?

xvart.
