Well, it's no match

But, here's MY best nep shot.  This N. Coccinea has improved dramatically since I stuck it outside. Now it's a nectar producing fiend!

Take a look.

Very nice color ;>

I had a N. khasiana on my West windowsill for a while and it kept leaving sticky puddles of goo wherever a pitcher was hanging!

Holy Cow, SF!!! That looks fantastic! It's a nice photo and a healthy, beautiful plant. Great work!

Definitely amazing. If you have any more photos, feel free to post them - I'm sure many people would like to see.

I've got to admit, you've really outdone yourself this time SF

My coccinea hasn't been that red in a while

Thank you all! Really, the plant has loved the South Florida sunshine!

Nice plant Falcon.  Mine is slightly variegated in color and the interior is also.  It is getting huge...close to three feet from tip to bottom of lowest pitcher.  The wind last night tore one pitcher off and knocked over my recently transplanted Filaformas Red seedling...it blew about thirty knots.

Did you get any wind up there?
 
It was pretty windy the whole day yesterday and it rained alot too, but no damage (thank goodness).

Beautiful trap! That's as dark as they get. How much sun are you giving it?

It's in a hanging basket outside. It gets sun from about noon to sunset or about 5-6 hours direct sunlight. Since I moved it out there a few weeks ago, pitcher size has increased dramatically, and the leaves are much smaller, thicker and more colorful. There was a little bit of sun-spotting on older leaves, but the new ones are coming out bright green with a red stripe down the middle.

Very beautiful coloration. I hope mine will look like that one day. Still in the slow growing stage.
