pitcher size

[Robert]

since the topic was brought up i am reposting one of the biggest size northiana that i came across, measurement and comparison with can drink.

On some encouters i came across equally big northiana pitchers though no measurements were taken but from my estimation their size look almost similar.

I remember we filled the pitcher with water-1.4 liters was all it takes to fill to the brim. The oblong opening of the peristome doesn't allow it to hold more water.






peristome measurement-a different pitcher from the same plant

I think Robert just kick started the idea that we start submitting big pitcher dimensions. Unfortunately we all greed that we need to be specific in the measurement or what we call "big".

So ideally we can do as what Robert did.

1. Measure height and width.
2. Measure how much water it can hold
3. Take a photo with references for size

Maybe we can also agree to distinguishing between pitchers in the wild and pitchers cultivated. Also maybe a contest, who cultivated the largest pitchers of each species?

We can subumit to the guiness book of world record

I hope my northiana will turn out to be as fantastic as this and won't die...!!!

Glad everyone love the size and colour. The first time when we came across,we watch in awe and pause a moment, don't know what to do with it. Then one member came with this idea-get the measurement.

Ali, i am sure we can get it to grow to this size in home cultivation ( with help of fertilizers) and big pot as it grows ( open ground will be an advantage).
