Two neps that start with the letter "i". Infundibuliformis is also known as eymae or eymai. A beauty that has an extreme dimorphism on it's upper and lower pitcher. Here's a photo of the lowers (no uppers this year, as I hacked off the top to make some cuttings), but the uppers are like miniature yellow coloured wine glasses...cute(!) dainty little things compared to the tough skin maxima-like lowers: Here's a photo of insignis. A real nice plant that bears delicate upper pitchers - soft thin - yellow opaque, egg- shell like. I also hacked off it's growth head (sounds kind of gross doesn't it? )earlier this year to make some cuttings, and I was rewarded with some new basal growth: hope you guys back east are surviving the awful heatwave.
