cant believe this popped up, given that this is my alata's first summer outdoors, but it decided to flower! i havent had any of my neps do this for me yet, so i think its kinda sweet!

oh, by the way, the picture sucks because it was taken at midnight. dont ask why.
 
Me neither! My small ventricosa 'red' finally decided to make pitchers haha, congrats! I've seen Nep flower stalks in person at my bosses greenhouse though. I'm going to smell them next time to see if they smell bad lol.
 
it does, yeah. i hadn't payed it much attention since i just picked it up at bachmans for like $14 as an experiment plant (worked out well, eh?) bachmans has it marked as alata tho... shame on them!
 
shame i've given mine recent cuttings...no flowers for a while :-(

very impressive...how big was it when you got it?

have anything to hybridize it with?
 
well, it wasn't vining when i got it, but it was somewhat large.

and since this is my only flowering nep atm, i wont be doing any hybridizing.
 
Awesome when it happens... but what to do with it? My ventrata pulled that, unexpectedly, this past February.... and I don't even understand why.

By the way, It's not Bachman's fault it's marked N. alata.
The DeRoose Nurseries labled it . Originated in Holland, but I believe they have a facility in Florida.

Cheers,

Joe
 
For the sake of nep genetics, please don't. I can't think of any good hybrids made with ventrata, and trust me, I know a lot of hybrids.
