I was under the impression that the "Black Peristome" Nepenthes ventricosa was a variety of ventricosa or possibly subspecies. The pitchers have some huge wings however, (at least on the lowers) which is is pretty uncharacteristic of this species. It appears to be some kind of hybrid to me. Do...

How I pine for you..
Anyone up for a N. lowii x truncata share thread? I shall share first..
SG N. lowii x truncata (Wide Peristome) finally showing some striping. (Smallest reddish pitcher nestled in the LFS there..)
SG N. lowii x truncata (Squat) from Mikefallen13 LEAPS AND BOUNDS ahead...
Let's change the pace and go the other direction. I think Mat and I have endured enough negative negativity for one day.
Mine obsessions are pretty obvious I think.. stripey, large peristomed neps. And all of the Cephalotus family. :drool:
I like the fact that as long as the peristome is large...
This is one of my favorite hybrids.
Between the great coloring on the pitcher,
with those red speckles,
and the wonderful sweep to the pitcher...
this N. veitchii x boschiana pitcher already has a feather in it's cap, much before the peristome even rolls around to showing itself off...
Hi there,
I have a Sabre (ventricosa x Trusmadiensis) that I'm looking to trade for other TM crosses or stuff with nice peristomes. This will be an unrooted cutting, fully grown about 10" in diameter. This particular clone takes after lowii more than other Sabres, so it has a winder pitcher...
I've had a plant of this 2011 cultivar for about 4 months now, and this is the first pitcher it has produced for me. (about 4" tall and the peristome is still coloring up.) I think this is going to be a stunner when it matures!

Thought I'd create a picture thread here as I pretty much only get Neps now.. Its been a while and I've had a rearrange so it's time for an update (:
Might aswell start with the newest to pop;
Royal Truncata beginning to colour up, the peristome is thicker around the back so I'm hoping to see...
Exams have just ended for me so I took the chance to visit my 'wholesale-distributor-for-BE-EP-nepenthes/private-nepenthes-grower/retailer-for-nepenthes' friend, Fauzi. He probably owns the largest collection of nepenthes in Malaysia (he has a nursery for god's sake! :-D) and I must say the...
Here is a shot from this afternoon of a female Nepenthes ventricosa flower, from a plant that I grew from a seedling on a windowsill back in 2004-05. It stopped "pitchering" and attempted to flower a few months back; the bloom aborted for some odd reason -- and the plant has since grown another...
This is the first near-adult pitcher my N. x 'Song of Melancholy' has produced, and I am mightily impressed. The peristome has no striping whatsoever; it is the richest dark ruby red imaginable. I wish the recorded parentage of this hybrid wasn't so vague/uncertain :-(
Enjoy!

Here's my growlist, as far as I can remember. The dates are purchase/order arrival dates (if I can remember)
Everything with an asterisk before it (*) is up for possible trade, or may be in the relatively near future.
Cephalotus:
young mature plant with two growth points. Early spring 2011...
The nectar on the upper pitchers of my nepenthes velvet is crystallizing in lumps over the peristome. The nectar is is not dry however. The crystallized nectar is saturated with what appears to be a new layer of soft nectar. The crystallized nectar is flaky and completely translucent like the...
Will be turning this one into a continuous update thread as well... Tired of making new threads for pics... unless its something special of course.

N. eymae x veitchii H/L
N. ventricosa x angasanensis ( i need to clean up some dead traps)
N. xSplendiana
