Lets Play . . . Name That Raff

[Bohdisattva]

Hiya All-

Some of you know that I have been searching for some nice size bicals and raffs for my new lowland greenhouse.

Well, I just got this N. raff gigantea yesterday (11/16) and unfortunately upon inspection, it had a couple of broken leaves and in particular a snapped off growth tip The older of the two pitcher is dying off and the other came in with a slit on its side.

The seller thinks that it is a Singapore giant, but I was wondering if you raff fans can verify that or have another ID for it?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Good Growing Everyone ;D

ps. Sorry for the bad pics











Here are some new pics taken this morning (9/18) for size reference:









Hope these help give you folks some ideas on what this raff might be.

Thanks again,
Bo

looks like a typical "white/green with red spots" or when older "red with white/green spots"

If it is a giant I'd say maybe Bau. but sadly it does look a bit more typical to me as well. It's pitcher's would be about atleast twice that size I'd think at that point in it's growth I've got a cutting that has pitchered once working on its second but it's leaf to pitcher ratio is much more distinct to it's giant ansestory. Still can't be completely positive w/o a better scale to things and/or some other opinions I'll see if i can find any literature that says anything.

ARGHHHHH!!! (in my best pirate voice) That it better not be a typical N. raff

I will get another pic of it tomorrow with its pitchers (what their is left of them) next to the pot and a pop can for size reference.

I take back what I said aftre seeing the length of the leaves so it might just be as said. ??
