The large lids on this form are broad, coppery, and striking. Tones range from ruddy brick-red to copper to chocolate brown, and some are mottled with deeper venations that accentuate the lid's deep colors. Colors in the lid may sometimes extend down into the tube. In the heat of summer, nectaries along the rim of the lid itself glisten with sugary residue, making the coppertop yellow pitcher an irresistible lure for all sorts of prey.

Beautiful plant
This plant arrived in perfect condition. It was a large healthy and colorful plant when it arrived. After growing it for a month, it has grown significantly and appears to be in great shape. Thanks!
