George is correct on the second plant. It is N. northiana x veitchii. The plant in the picture is Geoff Mansells. I think it is called N. x Tomomi.

That's right. Thought I should add that the first one is a black form of N. albomarginata.
But theres one other thing. You see I have been looking for this plant all over Puerto Rico (a tropical island) and haven't found nothing!
It's my most wanted plant: N. Maxima
If any of you guys know where to find one (hopefully somewhere close to where I live) give me a shout. Or if any of you lovely lovely people are willing to give me one I'd be happy to accept it
Joel might be able to help with locating one within Puerto Rico. Other than that all I can say is that shipping from the US is not a problem.
The picture you have is not typical for color. Upper pitchers are usually plain green and lower pitchers are usually green with purplish red spotting with a red or red striped peristome.
I also gather you did not find the picture of the black N. albomarginata on Borneo Exotics website. Perhaps someone is using Rob Cantleys photo without permission?

That maxima picture, if I am not mistaken, is from Doorman's Top in Irian Jaya. I think it was on Andreas Wistuba's Nepenthes flyer that came with our CPN several years ago. It is a beautiful plant.
