Looks interesting and i've seen some 'mini' maxima seeds offered in Ebay.
I hope it's still available.

Must see this thread!

Thanks for posting that, ol! I was looking at that last night. So much variability, even just among the small forms!

Cheers,

Joe

Well,if you really want something mini and tiny then look at these world's smallest pitcher plant at kledang hill.

The "mini species" from Kledang looks just like some basal from the main plant.

it is also written by the blogger :

"Botanists have no name for it yet and as discoverer, we have submitted pictures and our findings to the botanical authority"

gee, very sweeping remarks indeed. anyone who has been hiking to nep country would find pitchers of that size & know that it is basal pitchers or pitchers from a young nep plant.

it`s like taking a pic of a newborn elephant & calling it the new pygmy elephant. heheh.

alienfx : sorry no offense yah. you probably do not know.

I just took it from the website.I dont know cause i have not been there.How come you guys very quick to come to conclusion that it is from a basel?Dont some of you believe there could be a super mini pitcher plant?
