Ciao Guys,

Plants are growing fast now, we had sunny weeks here. Lots of open pitchers with many contrasts: some red tube flava's have a very strong and deep color, while some of them hardly look like ornata.. It is these plants which are still in shock by the extreme cold winter we had..

Even so with the S leucophylla's, some spring pitchers are exceeding 70 cm, almost opening now, and some plants are so stressed by the cold winter they are sending cork-screw phylodia instead of pitchers! Well, at least they are growing and still alive [SM=x349152]

I will make pics soon for this spring, but here a few pics shot by a friend in late 2007:
