sockhom, another way around, I wish I could set up terrariums like yours, much to envy on your nicely grown highland species and hybrids. ;D Ed

Michael: thanks, that is the A. enpranii local species in Sumatra, correct me if I am wrong here. As for bulbo only a few species so far, had the sumatranum, lobii, microglossum, etc. still looking for becarri. @unclemasa: not that soon I hope, ha..ha.. probably only by next year I need to expand the growing place Ed

Yes, with viking, and seems to me the stronger strain on this one is the bical with the shape, fangs, and size.

Just to share: This is the first pitcher made at my place got it on April 2008, hidden well from direct sunlight hence got the reddish color, size considerably smaller than the one below. And this is the second one, pitcher is exposed to sunlight with color somehow paler but size considerably bigger: Noticed that the pitcher still got the twin fangs, just not that split like the parent pitcher, also got some nice coloration on the peristome. Enjoy, Ed

Nicely grown Lam, I have one raff from Singapore, probably the same variant: What do you think? Ed

Thanks Sam for the answer. Very clear to me that it will take at least 4 years to grow a truncata with that size of pitcher so I only have like 3 more years to go. Ed

Sam,
Nice one, is your truncata H/L = Pasian? How long it takes to grow to this pitcher size? Thanks
Ed

Ok, thanks. Will do that, now the plant just stop pitchering, probably due to extremely hot weather past several months, but now it is raining again, hopefully the pitchers will follow with the change of climate and the plant is started vining.

Michael, Remember this one? Any chance this might be the same as yours? Ed

Michael, the Sumatra one I think is an extreme variant, as I saw from the mirabilis picture posts in forum, nothing like mine so far as on the deep red coloration and green/red peristome colors with striped on the pitcher, I do hope this one will bloom soon, the plant has reached 2 meter tall now. The lower pitcher in the picture is from basals of the lower stem near the media. As on the Papua variant, not much different than other mirabilis, they are fast grower as well, got this one of size around 15 cm tall (a basal cutting) from a friend August last year, and I think this one will make upper pretty soon. @phission & sockhom, yes this one is my favorite a real winner. This is the picture of the tallest tips of the Sumatran's mirabilis: Ed
