Thanks! Any chance the Veitchii flared peristome in yours just hasn't developed yet? I always wondered how long that can take to develop in Veitchii and its hybrids?

Here's the latest pitcher on 'Stillest Hour' - (((thorelii x spectabilis) x campanulata) x truncata) showing a massive bump in size! Unfortunately the wind was incredibly strong today and blew the lid right off!

'Stillest Hour' - (((thorelii x spectabilis) x campanulata) x truncata) - aka ('Hamakua' x truncata). This pitcher is almost double the size of the previous pitcher, and the newest leaf is drastically bigger than the leaf attached to this pitcher... so, more good things to come! Unfortunately the lid blew off in a storm right after it opened!

I'm glad I don't live in Hawaii, I would spend all of my money at Sam's place like a crack addict.

Unknown poi dog - looks to me like possibly a hybrid of 'Caesar' merrilliana x truncata: another unknown truncata hybrid - I'm still guessing there is some Chaniana in there: Mirabilis, winged x Veitchii Lowii x Truncata 'Wide Peristome' Ramispina hybrid a powdery new 'Courage' - Rokko x Albomarginata, dark pitcher

Great photos, Chris. I liked the Night Song -- the purplish blush on the pitcher in addition to the maxima-like mottling give it a very richly-colored look. By contrast, I also like the pigment-free Riddler pitcher. Does it darken with age, or is it always that green? Purple Haze continues to be beautiful. I'll be curious to see if the color continues when it produces uppers. But even if not, it's an exceptionally beautiful plant. And what a lovely eymae x ephippiata

Thanks Mikulas! My Riddler darkens up a bit, little reddish tinge to the peristome and a touch to the body. I've only had it for a few months, and after repotting it took a break from making pitchers, so we'll see once it gets used to the conditions.
Purple Haze grows crazy fast! but no sign of vining yet :-)
and that new pitcher on Eymae x Ephippiata has really colored up! Not sure if it was because I had it in the shade for a couple of weeks when it was forming... or because of the new, more sun conditions it is in now, which might be a little too much for it. Makes all the old pitchers on it look really pale. Hasn't skipped a beat in growth yet, and the next pitcher is well on its way.
