My pulchella from "Churi Tepui" has a couple flowers going, one of them is about as large as the pitchers, lol.

great ,are you going to collect any pollen from them ?/ look very healthy too

 

[bonfield]

Thanks! Yes, the second flower stalk is still developing, so I'm hoping to produce some seed. My pulchella "Akopan Tepui" seems to be developing a healthy seed pod, but it only had one bloom and still managed to self-pollinate. I guess on a rare occasion the stigma is still receptive when the pollen is ripe.
