Wow, very nice Robert, especially the upper pitcher. Are the pitchers from a same plant, how come the upper pitcher is redder than the lower.

What TS and I have seen when we went to Johor was the uppers are always on the greenish side. Never with such rich colours. Georgeous plant Robert!

Interesting that the lower pitchers do not have strip on its peristome

TS, it was from the same plant. The different in colour contrast was most likely due to the light level it received , being more exposed.

David, i notice the same green uppers of most raff, esp the typical forms.

hi Rich, you're most welcome.
