Default Uppers?

I think my miranda is producing an upper pitcher. Just to confirm, is this an upper pitcher?

The one on the left is an upper. As the vine grow higher, the uppers will be smaller is size and more slender. It'll also have more greenish color and lesser of the maroon/purple speckle.

Hi Aaron

Hey thats a nice upper pitcher there...Your miranda and mine is like doing everything almost only a month apart....Yours flowered then a month later so did mine....Now yours has a upper pitcher and mine is also forming upper pitchers but not yet fully formed...I heard that they like something to grab on soo if the leaves don't catch on to something i just use a paintbrush and put it in the round loop they make...The form faster for me that way..I have one which is forming which held on to another pot's hanger by itself...Shouldn't have let it done that cause now if i ever move the plant then most probally have to cut off that pitcher..

Ken

I knew it. I knew the one of the left is an upper. My nepblind father thinks they are both the same eventhough the shape and colour is a little different.
