Just curious if any one can give me an idea of the growth rate of pitchers, do they grow faster/slower than a VFT Trap ?

In terms of plant tissue produce in a certain amount of time, Nepenthes grow much faster. Some pitchers get absolutely enormous and they do it fairly quickly.

My pitcher plant grows pretty fast putting out large leaves and pitchers. For me its like new pitcher every other week during the fast growing season.

Have a look at this: http://www.frosted7.com/cp/tl5.gif

You can see the speed of formation of a pitcher, and a new leaf unfurling out and compare it to the VFT in the back.
