It is fun to watch these "pitchers" grow. They start out as really tiny things, no larger than 1 mm in diameter and then grow and grow until they are 4-6" long. When they are at or near their peak size, the "lid" opens up, ready to welcome insects. They are just really neat plants to grow. I understand these plants do flower but that may only occur with old, large plants. My first pitcher is only 1.5 yrs. old and it was a cutting, so is perhaps 2-3 times as old as that. No flowers though.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
