I'm in a similar situation, three hours south of ya. With the price of gas... I'd like a sneak peek of what would be available before I make arrangements to hike up there. Is that possible?
My bet is that the humidity wasn't quite right in its growing environment to stimulate active pitcher production. And ventratas do indeed have uppers, although they do not differ too dramatically from the lowers.
I'm a bushy nep fan as well, potted up multiple ventratas in an oversized pot myself, trying to get a jungle going in there :P
Glad to hear that thing's still kickin for ya, must be doing something better than I was!
Edit: Was it really TWO years ago?
Nope, haven't been checking them, but they were all from the same scape, so some 5 petaled and at least one (who knows maybe I missed some more?) 9 petalers!
I had a pot of spatulata bloom and I forgot to take off the scapes, which turned out to be rather a fortunate event as I had some fun trying to get a half decent pic of them with my crappy camera. *Anyways my question is this.
You see this flower? It has like 8-9 petals. *That's not normal...
I always enjoy looking at y'alls pictures here, just to see how other people's plants are doing. *These are two of my favorites right now, looking good so i snapped a pic this morning... before it started pouring rain like it has been all week.
First off a hybrid Trent gave me when I swung by...
I'd love to pick up one or two of those lowland neps (bical!) to grow outside here in South Florida. Don't mind taking more, just seems kinda greedy in a way to say HEY I'll take all the lowlanders! :P
So if that Bical and maybe the Madagascariensis (I butchered it too) are available still I'd...
Wowsers, don't even recognize it tbh! You've done a great job Jimscott, good to see you still hanging around here. Uh best guess on my part is a Judith Finn? I dunno for sure tho, haven't had one for a while! Looks like its putting out nice sized pitchers for ya tho!
I grow my plants outside in full sun (with a bit of shade cloth to cut down the intensity) here in South Florida. *Although it makes it a bit tougher to keep up on the watering, the color on these plants makes it worth it!
