It has done exceptionally better in the green house. I'm not sure if its the picture with no reference but it may just look big.

Out of that grouping of seedlings you sent here are the sizes of the largest pitchers

oreophila x leucophylla "Purple Lip"- 3.5
(rubra gulfensis x leucophylla) x 'Leah Wilkerson'- 3.5"
"Dana's Delight" x oreophila- 5"
"Wilkerson's Red" x alata red/black) x 'Adrian Slack'- 7"

The rubra and oreo both took a little longer to start growing again after being re-potted but while under artificial lights they were traditionally slower growers then the DD and WR with the WR being the most vigorous grower of the four in my conditions. I wonder if Jeremy's WR x AS have done better. I remember him saying they weren't growing very quickly for him . Just about everything has started growing again. I still have two Sarras that haven't produced a pitcher yet.

This pitcher is getting some nice red veins. I'm wondering what this pitcher is going to end up looking like.

Well my S. flava rubricorpora is doing much better this year. It doesn't have to compete with our wind. Pitchers are still pretty green can't wait till they get more color. My cuprea 'Best Clone' is in the back left looking good too :D
