Hi all. This looks like a S. minor hybrid, but these are just the first pitchers to come up. There are a couple more that are taller but they haven't opened yet. Opinions?

Could be minor var. okefenokeensis x alata. That would explain the pitchers' shape and height.

Cool. The okefenokeensis can grow to 3+ feet. Thanks!

Definitely got minor in it, most likely Okefenokeensis, but you will get a better idea once the pitchers mature.
Cheers

Yeah, that "beak" definitely says S. minor is in the mix. Can't wait to see if the mature pitchers are larger. The tallest right now is around 10".
