Well that surely is going to smell in the coming period.

 

[Rick]

Pretty crazy!

Is this in your GH?

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice mouse trap!

 

[goldenrose]

OMG!!! please keep us posted if the plant continues to win! Will it lose that pitcher after or even before digesting a meal like that!
Any bets as to how long it will take? I'm gonna say 10 days!

With the size of its pitcher. I wouldn't be surprised. This one is still pretty big and it's already dried up.

Yum!
Looks like someone built a better mousetrap.

When I first read the title of the thread I thought that the "v." meant "var." I was thinking, I didn't know their were different varieties of species and who would name a nepenthes variety "mouse"?

So cool! My little N. sanguinea wiped out all the little gnats I had around my plants.

I hafta ask how the mouse got in there and why it can't chew its way out the side of the flower???? Is it a baby field mouse?

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

I can't even begin to imagine the smell over the next few days.....

would have fallen in head first and couldn't turn around so it drowned.

they're smooth inside so it may not have been able to grasp anything to chew through
