Thanks for sharing the pic Robert. That's why I love raffs...you can truly see how spectacular their pitchers can get in size and colour :shy:

Re: truly a giant

I echo what funkychips say again. Raff is a really spectacular lowland. Amazing colour and form Robert. This is a unique form. The upper is quite slender too.

Re: truly a giant

Incredible, that is the biggest upper I have ever seen. How large was the entire plant?

Re: truly a giant

I agree with Ken that this might be the elongata form.Need to see the lower though.

Thanx for poisoning us again Rob;)

Re: truly a giant

It was a giant squat form with elongated uppers. The lower pitchers are not as long, only about 12"-14". A huge matured ones with many offshoots.

Lol...And you call that not big/long hehehe must be kidding me..My raffs have a hard time making 7-8" tall lowers....And so far ain't making uppers yet..
