John Brittnacher did an informative write-up on Cephalotus pitcher development over here for those interested.) In 2008, I posted these. This year is apparently a banner year for their creativity & the unusual formations - as I discovered while I brought my 'outside Cephs' up from the basement. The first three are variations on the two-horn theme:
