peristome

So in my Plant Anatomy lab I got bored and decided to section a dark Maxima, here are the images that I took some don't have great resolution but I thought it was cool. Section of the peristome with some interesting shaped cells with a wax layer. A section of the outside of the pitcher, TONS...

I just thought someone on here might enjoy this little art project I just finished. It is a 'miranda' pitcher that I took thin tissue samples from and put under the microscope. I then sorted out each different sample picture (ie. Peristome, lid, pitcher wall etc) and inserted them into the...

So the other day I was shopping online for a few plants and a TC farm in Florida that I was buying from had a nep. called 'Gentle'. Only $5 for it so I said why not! The small plant they sent has only one tiny damaged pitcher that gives me very little indication of what it will look like. In...

I am by no means a talented photographer, possessing neither the skills nor the equipment. However, fellow cp grower mcmcnair dropped by recently and kindly took a few photos of my plants. So I thought I'd share our joint handiwork here. First we'll start off with some greener pitchers and then...

It's just opening up so I suspect I have a bit of time, although I've never dealt with a flower before so I'm not sure exactly how this game is played. Holla if you'd like to make a hybrid. It's a really awesome looking plant with a gorgeous striped peristome. Super colorful!

I am getting one of these, the kind you see in grocery stores by the checkout with soda inside, and would like to know if 54 degree low is OK. I spent the winter moving my high elevation Neps into an aquarium in an unheated room and now with warmer temps want to do the same only have the damp...

This has turned out to be one of the easiest, fastest growing and most beautiful Neps I have had so far. I have mine parked next to a similar sized hamata and favor neither over the other. The pitcher body is beautifully marked and the peristome is close to the hamata. The plant I have is still...

So I've had this idea for quite a while and have been thinking about how to do it. I notice that many Nepenthes peristomes folder over onto the back and you only see it completely flared out while it is opening. I'd like to always be able to see that for taking pictures or just viewing. I know...

This rooted cutting: Starts at $1, +$5 S/H on you, US only please, will be shipped bare root. Pitchers are like inermis with a red peristome :)

Hey guys, Up for auction is one N. fusca 'Flared Peristome'. Plant is vining and currently has 3 pitchers with a fourth one about to open. Plant grows in intermediate-HL conditions. Pitchers are 4-5 inches on this plant. Here are some pictures! Plant will be shipped bare root. I will pay...

Not often that I post pics on the forums, so I thought I'd add in a few things: Everyone's probably seen my N. rafflesiana in the POTM thread, so I'll start with N. ampullaria 'Harlequin' Followed by N. spectabilis "giant" And an 8 1/2" pitcher from N. 'Miranda'. I know it doesn't measure up...

Seeing the success of Sundrew's Raff appreciation thread I figured I would start one for my favorite species of Nepenthes... N. ampullaria! So share pictures of your plants species and hybrids involving amps! Here are a few of mine, taken with my new camera! Even seedlings are freaking awesome...

Last week I renewed an old acquaintance and look what I got! The lot I've named this one Marilyn because of the blond peristome and the monogram inside the hood More pics to come

So myself and Wireman are fans of the television show adventure time and we are working on creating a series of cultivars based off of the characters from the show. So far we have Princess Bubblegum, the Lich, Cinnamon Bun, and Lumpy Space Princess. N. x'Princess Bubblegum' N. x 'Princess...

I have two cuttings of a shapely reddish clone of N. campanulata, for trade with U. campbelliana or extreme clone of D. multifida 'Extrema'. A small quantity of U. campbelliana will do, as long as the propagation material is viable and healthy. As for the D. multifida 'Extrema', I'm looking only...

had this one now for a couple months it came with no pitchers on this one developed fully in my care, as expected it is slow , but it is also very steady going , hope it keeps it up:-D. .

For some time I have been watching an eBay seller offering Ceph's that apparently lost the ID tags and might be one of the giant varieties. He might be right because the one I bought from his website as a typical variety is a fairly small plant and producing some pitchers approaching 1.5". I...

Thought I'd drop by and share a photo or two of some beautiful pitchers to y'all. Yes, we all want a toothy peristome nep. Yes, we'd like a candy striped peristome too. Or maybe, a wine shaped pitcher with astonishing colouration. But, I sometimes find simplicity to be the most beautiful trait...
