Wow! Give you one of my kids for a div of this. You'll have to take the oldest one though;).
This is by far the luckiest of my acquisitions. A while ago there was a post, I'm pretty sure by you, of what I think was "flava atropurpurea X alata nigrapurpurea" but I could be mistaken on exact variants. Anyway, the specific plant was some cultivar with only a few representatives and all in Europe. I started searching for a similar cross and thanks to google found a nursery that had a "flava red tube X alata black tube". Long story short the nursery belongs or used to belong to Lois Ochs who was nice enough to sell me a division of the flava X alata which so far is a beautiful plant.
BUT, the plant in the picture was a freebie she tossed in, S. 'Black Widow'. She actually wasn't sure at the time that it was 'Black Widow' but knew for sure it was one of Phil Faulisi's four plants. Luckily the 4 are pretty distinct from one another so when it started growing pitchers I knew for sure her guess was right.
