Hi Robert,

Hmmm, mine's not that old but was a surprise too! Do you think this is the same?

Ok, why don't my pictures appear here in place of the little icons?

Yes, seed grown neps always show surprises. I have a seed grown N. rafflesiana turned out pinkish with dark red speckle. :)
Congratulations on the raff, Robert.

Thanks Ali and TS.

Shawn, the pitchers are similar but the man different was the frilled tendril ( detail photo attached below )

small pitcher at this stage and as the plant matured the frilled tendril will be very prominent.

robert, that seedling is going to be a very gorgeous alata when mature!

Re: seed grown surprise
 

Yep, you're right! That frilled tendril wasn't so obvious in the earlier pictures but I noticed the big wings! Congratulations!
