Hello!
My Viking has had a real good improvement. Here is a picture of the newest pitcher. You can compare with the previous pitcher in the pic bellow.
The new pitcher is double the size of the previous. In the 1st picture both pitchers are in a row, so you can see clearly the improvement.

That's odd,your N. 'viking' pitcher change from what lookes like a grade A[no neck] to B[with neck]. it's usually not commonly seen... a DownGrade?
Did you do anything drastic to it?

Hello! ;D
LobsterX: No, i did not do anything drastic. The smaller pitcher, that i do think is Grade A, was the first one produced after the plant went out of the shock of shipment. So maybe the passed stress made the plant produce that grade A.
I fed that pitcher with diluted milk, and then the plant produced this new pitcher that is double the size, but also is Grade, not B, but C. Though i do not care much about this. I really love Vikings and their history ;D
Now it has another pitcher on development, let's se what will appear from this one 
Sunbelle: Hey guys... I am proud of my plant ;D And the bassal shoot look very promissing. Thank you for have this wonderful plant available in USA ;D

Grading is found to be not accurate for vikings anymore, cuz their grade can fluctuate (to grade C-B-A and even back) when they grow. There is often two types of pitchers on 1 plant.

Hello guys! ;D
Here is an update of my plant, now that it has fully produced its 3rd pitcher.
And the whole plant with the 3 pitchers:
This 3rd pitcher is not like the 1st one, which does not have neck. But it does not have the long neck like the 2nd.
In my opinion what Jason sais about classification of Vikings is logical, i have seen with my own plant that i cannot classify it in a certian grade for the variety of forms of pitchers in a single plant.
It is really exciting to see how Vikings produce different forms of pitcher in one single plant. Don't you think?

Has the official description of N. globosa (S.Kurata) [2006] now been published? If so, could you give the citation? Thanks.
