Veitchii spreading its wings

[dvg]

I suppose instead of wings, i should have said peristome.

That grand N. veitchii peristome, much like a ship's sail, needs enough to material to truly show its best potential.

That is why i'm quite excited that a couple of my N. veitchii varieties have finally turned that corner and are starting to show more of their N. veitchii splendor.

Here is a small, just under 4", N. veitchii (K) pitcher from EP shot a few hours before high noon yesterday.



And here is a pitcher of AW's N. veitchii Batu Lawi, just a tad shorter than the pitcher shown above and below, showing it's most pronounced peristome yet, since i've had it.



Another shot of the N. veitchii (K), shot a couple of hours after high noon yesterday, in a highly reflective area, resulting in a brighter picture.



Now i'm really looking forward to seeing the next few pitchers on these two plants.

They may not be as large and as awesome as Keith's Dragonslayer veitchii, which routinely captures and despatches lizards as if it was divinely ordained to do so by ol' Saint George, himself...

...but maybe in time, they will ascend to that lofty level.
