I am soliciting for leaves from known male or female Nepenthes. I promised someone female plants from my Nepenthes sprouts and I intend to keep it. This is a PCR based assay from a 2007 published paper. The techniques utilized are commonplace but the DNA was never sequenced by the researchers...
I recently bought a Pinguicula primuliflora and I have three questions which are:
1. When I bought it from the nursery, it already had flowers. Will these impact the plant's future health?
2. I peered at the flowers very closely and saw no female flower parts. Is this species a male/female...
My female splendiana (smilesii x maxima) is blooming right now, and I have enough flowers to accommodate pollen from one more male. Any/all offers will be considered. I prefer to use pollen that has been shaken free & sent in wax paper/foil/something similar; whole anthers, flowers, or flower...
In the spirit of past NASC teaser threads and suspecting that some day soon, we'll be hearing from the NASC folks when this year's auction will be held and what conservation org will reap the benefits of our efforts --- here's a thread to share:
- what items you'd like to see in this year's...
Hello all,
I have a large male N. ventricosa "red" that is opening flowers right now, and I'm looking for anyone with flowering female plants of any kind. It has 2 flower stalks, so I'll have plenty of pollen, so either reply to this thread or PM me if you're interested.

Hello all,
I'll be posting this in the Nepenthes thread too just in case, but I have a male N. ventricosa "red" that has flowers opening right now, so if there is anyone who has female flowers that I haven't already talked with, who would be interested in pollen, let me know, either in the...
I will try my luck here and need your help to fine a N. hamata around 3in diameter.
I have to for trades:
N. aristo (2in dia)
N. lowii x talangensis
N. lowii x fusca
N. 'Sabre' rooted cutting
N. maxima x izumea (LRG)
N. vent x aristo (rooted cutting)
N. vent x ovata (rooted cutting)

I have harvested the remaining seeds from one of my "no name" N. maxima hybrids, and I have a surplus which I am willing to offer for trade. Below are the parents, starting with the maxima hybrid (female):
And the male is (speculatively) a N. fusca hybrid:
Please make your offer here in the...
Hello all,
I've got a male N talangensis that has just started revealing a fairly large inflorescence. I would imagine the first flowers will mature in late February. My preference would be to find a female talangensis that is searching for a suitor, as i don't usually grow hybrids. My...
I have fresh Nepenthes seeds available; a cross between two "Poi Dog" hybrids, one a maxima hybrid (I was told it might actually be N. maxima, species) and the other is likely a N. fusca hybrid. Photos of each. Please note that the maxima is making mostly-green uppers, but the lowers are typical...
Currently I have a female N. maxima starting to flower. Maybe if temperatures hold flowers start opening next week or the week after. See attached picture. This is a large N. maxima. Has very nice lower pitchers.
Picture taken today:
standard trade. 50% of seeds produced (if any) with...
I have a Nepenthes Ventricosa x Spathulata that is in flower now. It is a female so im looking for some pollen the pollen donor will get 50% of all seeds produced. it is a medium flower so not much pollen is needed. Iam looking for pollen from any not to comman nepenthes like alata even...
Lately I have been lamenting the lack of critters available to me to photograph at this time of the year. Well I am happy to say that the problem has been resolved—for the time being at least. Last week I took possession of 19 new “pets” including three new species of scorpions, two species of...

Hello Everyone
Well, just about a year later and the ol' N. X Aeneas N. [(campotiana X maxima) X ('Ile de France')] is flowering again. I'm not particular of what females to use the pollen on. . . whatever is available in the flowering market currently is fine by me (50/50 seed split). I'd say...
It is getting a bit over grown in my greenhouse. I want to give new grower a chance to get more plants, let start a chain of give away. Here are the rules:
1. If you post that you take a plant, you need to have plant/cutting of equal value to give back for the next person. For example, if I...
So a maxima cutting I received a few months ago has been doing quite well and is sending out a flower stalk. The leaf just started unfurling to show it. This is only my second flower, so I don't exactly how long it should take to be ready for pollen.
If anyone has any male flowers that might...
This past weekend I went to a two day radio controlled glider contest in Visalia, CA. This sport actually gets really, really competitive, with many models going for $2,000 or more. I don't have any of those. What I was flying was a $60 kit built Gentle Lady and a discontinued kit built Spirit...
After a long wait, maxima dark is flowering. It's a female! Just noticed today, so there's lots of time before it's ready. Looking for pollen, would like to split seeds 50/50. Will take pictures of flower this weekend.
Lower pitchers:
Uppers
Thanks for looking! :D
I have an established, 3-node, rooted cutting of Nepenthes tenuis available for trade. It is actively growing and inflating a first pitcher. Photo available upon request.
I'm am interested only in a Nepenthes trade; no other genera, sorry. Rooted plants/cuttings only will be considered; mine...
