It's not in flower, it's just that I saved a lot of pollen, and have plenty to go around. It seems to keep in cold storage for a long time.

Nepenthes pollen is good for cold storage above freezing temps for only a few months. For anything longer than 3 or 4 months, it needs to be dry, and below freezing. You know that, right?
 
I've had success with crosses done 8 or 9 months after collecting the pollen, sometimes nearly a year afterward, and it is kept dry, even if not in freezing temperatures.
 
Just wanted to let anyone know if intrested. I still havnt received any pollen,offer still good.I also have a female N.Spathulata in bloom. I would like to use the pollen on both.Thanks peeps.
 
I have currently a male N. Miranda in bloom and producing pollen, and will soon have a N. x mixta with flowers, in probably 2 weeks or so. I also still have the N. ventricosa "red" pollen, though I think that's on its last legs. Pm me if this interests you at all.
 
The only pollen I have already is the miranda.The vent.red sounds like it could be a waste of time.But I do appreciate the help from you.To me the miranda and mixta look too much the same.At least the one I have.
