crosses

PM me with your postal mailing address if you’re interested in receiving Nep seeds as follows. Seeds of two crosses are available. The first is N. Splendiana x Rokko. The second is N. Splendiana x (spathulata x veitchii). I’ve germinated seeds from an earlier batch of the first cross. However...

Just some pics that have been kicking around.  This Fall has been kinda lousy with lots of rain and overcast.. not much in large colorful pitchers to photograph.  Not to mention finding a nice bright day to even do it on! Nice mature pitcher of N. glandulifera Couple clones of one of my...

Here's a small portion of some baby VFT crosses I tried this year. I've germinated some: Typical X Dentate Traps Dentate Traps X Dentate Traps Big Mouth X Big Mouth Big Mouth X Fang Red Dragon X Red Dragon Red Dragon X Dentate Traps

After many years on my "To do" list, I finally visited a S. purpurea purpurea site in PA that I last visited ~30 years ago (yikes - it's been a while!!). When I 1st visited this location, it was a floating sphagnum bog undergoing a successional process. Trees rimmed the bog and after a...

Has anyone produced the hybrid, Pinguicula hemiepiphytica x Pinguicula moranensis (Huautala)? Or any hybrid with Pinguicula hemiepiphytica that they would like to share the experience of? I always attempt reciprocal crosses whenever possible, when I attempt hybrids. This time I only obtained...

Just recently I was successful in producing the following hybrid seed from my gigunda regia: regia x admirabilis regia x binata dichotoma giant regia x binata multifida extrema regia x capensis giant wide leaf form Is there potential for these seed being fertile? They were very plump and had...

Part 1: Amps As I mentioned somewhere else, we haven't seen the sun for four weeks in a row. Doesn't frazzle the amps' coloration at all - check out this harlequin! Entire plant N. amp "Bau Green" and N. x kuchingensis Big Bertha's newest pitcher, about the size of a goose egg (BB...

Here is an older EP cross of N. ventricosa squat x sibuyanensis. *This is a red peristome form. A pink form of the same hybrid. A rare cross of N. sibuyanensis x (spectabilis x sumatrana) *This has got to be one of my favorite sib crosses to date! Michael

I figured you'd look! Actually what I'm wondering is if any of you have ever successfully polinated any of your orchids? I've tried a few times and always end up with duds and lost blooms. Is there a specific time to polinate, say 2 days after opening and at dawn while singing Ave Maria...

<span style='color:Teal'>Hello again!   I was wondering if when you have Nepenthes hybrid, if there is a protocol to name those hybrids. I mean, when you see the crosses like thorelii x aristolochioides, or thorelii x maxima, or gracilis x rafflesiana, etc. Is there a protocol so I can know...

Hi all. My comp died a few months back.. And for some reason these forums tripped the filter at school, dunno what it was. And the computer lab ner.. agh guys, believe there system is perfect, unfortunatly that left me SOL to get back here. Anyway my comp stands as dead, but I picked up a...

When I first started collecting I would take any plant I could get. I still own 4 of Gubler's hybrids from Home Depot. Shortly thereafter I only wanted species. Today, with more reasonable prices, hybrid vigor and interesting crosses available, I am developing more interest in hybrids. Plus I...

Hey, well I'm getting ready to harvest most of my VFT seeds and I am running out of space to plant all of them. They are mainly all typicals but were pollinated with what ever else was available (Dente's, Red Dragons, ect...). I'm offering three packets of seeds for a SASE, I would offer more...

Does anyone know which Victorian Hybrids still exist as the origonal plant (propogated as cuttings) as opposed to being recreated crosses and given the Victorian names. For example, does the origonal Tiveyi still exist, or all all the plants out there now more recent crosses? For that matter...

I have three forms of N. spectabilis and I believe that they grow like a vine rather than a short compact plant. Crosses combining it with veitchii has made it more compact, but most other hybrids seems to make it tall, viney and stretchy. Anyone has this happening to theirs? M

im looking for some outstanding showy hybrids, or just plain interesting to look at ones. the N. jacquelineae x izumiae i have is quite interesting and the N. eymae x vietchii that i just got looks really cool if alot like my N. vietchii(im told the uppers will be really cool). i like the large...

I think it was Bob Z. who posted some VFT photos earlier this year (or last?) that showed some of the VFT flowers demonstrate some significant variability. Before he posted a photo of a VFT 'wacky traps' flower, I hadn't really inspected the blooms too closely. Today, I was out making some...
