Hello all,
This was mailed to me, however, I think everyone would be interested.

The giant ceph is not a bogus plant. As far as cephs go, the giant form is
very large with 5cm long pitchers at least. A good friend of mine has many
of these plants, and they truely grow much larger than your regular cephs.
As mine are newly aquired, I can't compare pitchers, as mine haven't
pitchered yet, however, leaves are 2 to 3 times as large as my regular
cephs.
Again, a second friend who got his giant cephs from the same source, has
his growing along side regular forms, and their leaves and pitchers are
easily twice as big if not 3 times the size!
If anyone is interested in giant cephs, contact me privately. I was
talking to this gent just yesterday actually, and said it was OK for me to
pass his name to any interested parties.
