Cephalotus with Nectar loaded on peristome- pics from May

[droseraman]

Hey everyone,

Here are some recent pics of my Cephalotus, which really seem to love the cooler conditions in my basement in the spring. At this time each year, there is usually a pitcher that produces nice amounts of nectar on the peristome. I've neglected the plant over the past 3 years, feeding it only three times a year since I've been away from home quite a bit...so unfortunately they haven't grown very much, but I'm very happy with how they look.

I took a ton of pics so it took quite a while to whittle them down to the good ones-

...so here they are (no photo editing was done and this nectar was produced entirely by the plant):

Very interesting ! I didn't know cephalotus made such a big, visible amount of nectar. How big are the pitchers ? Judging by the newly forming small one I'd guess them to be about 4cm but I could be totally off.
