I would encourage a look at Ebay at the moment. A seller has posted I believe 6 hybrids with either sibuyanensis or merrilliana in the background, plus N. sibuyanensis x merrilliana, plus N. merriliana itself. All are BE plants. I just bought N. sibuyanensis x merriliana last week for $20, 6 inch leaf span, and am awaiting it (and need to create space...). I believe that price is 1/25th what 'Plumpkin' has sold for. It potentially gets bigger pitchers, it's said perhaps the biggest of any Nepenthes. The seller is someone I traded with 30 years ago, before he set up his carnivorous plant business. He's a good guy and someone I would trust.
I received my N. sibuyanensis x merrilliana. I'll get a better look after I pot it up later today. So far it looks fine. I've never been too happy with the practice in the CP community of unpotting plants. So far I haven't had any problems, though. It was made clear in the description it would be sent unpotted.
Yeah, that plant looks waaaay better after repotting. Thanks for posting those photos! You've got to post some once you get giant pitchers . . . but we may have to wait a while for that . . .
