Guys, there is this plant from six years ago, one of my starter plants that I got from HomeLife garden, it's still around but though I bought it as a young plantlet with pitchers about 2 inches long, plant height 5 inches, and width 4 inches plus. It hasn't been growing any bigger since then everything is just the same size. I'm using 1 part peat moss, 1 part sand and 1 part burnt soil with sphagnum moss and coconut husk fibre mixed into it. Here are the pics, taken today:   Hope can get the ID of the plant from you guys, thanks! |

i'd say it's a mirabiis....  They're very variable... My n. mirabilis are from different localties... even the ones from the same place can be different from one another... I even have one less than 3' tall with lower and upper pitcher on one plant... just like those old sketchings of neps... |

Noted, thanks Lisham! Hehe means I now have three types of mirabilis; the green slim one with the frill (echinostoma), this one and an all-green one.

funkychips, did you just said you have the mirabilis echinostoma form? Where did you get it? Got any cuttings to spare?  I am looking for this form for quite a while now.  ..... finger crossed... fingers crossed..... |

Yup but it hasn't pitchered in a long time. There are only 2 pitchers since I got it and it's gotten shrivelly now but I'm not giving up hope on it yet. I got it from a friend who bought it somewhere in an OUG nursery.
Right now I only have three shoots, only one is growing fresh without pitchers, the other two are stunted-looking, so if you don't mind I thought letting a fourth one come up first before I get the growing cutting for you?

most probably not the same variety, but the red raff sure looks good. i think the 2nd is the johor spotted variety.

U got the frilly frilly echinostoma? From OUG nursery? Any chance for us to get our hands on those? I mean David's been searching for that variety, I've been keeping my eyes open for it too... |

I've only been told that it's echinostoma. I have never actually seen it pitcher yet, other than the two lower pitchers which were still small and frilless when they dried up. I'm waiting for the plant to pitcher again so I can confirm it for good  . |

Here's another raff I got that finally pitchered. I just couldn't figure out what variant it is but from my guess it looks like a squat or clone?  |
