Big batch of spring pics

[Capslock]

Spring has sprung around here, and it's time to take some pics!

First, the outdoor dwellers. The Darlingtonia have arrived and I really should trim last year's pitchers:

N. ventricosa x aristolochioides proves again to be impervious to cold by spending a third straight year outdoors on my deck, never coming inside even for the coldest winter days. In fact, it threw up three flower spikes!

The yard bog has sprung too:

Drosophylum Lusitanicum, flowering a second year in a row. This also lives on the deck all year round:

Back to the grow room! Here's a shelf full of happy neps:

A hybrid I made: N. (thorellii x aristo) x truncata:

N. Sp 1 with a newly opened pitcher:

N. ampularia 'Giant Red' with a dusky colored albomarginata living on top:

One of my N. boschiana x ?? plants has become a monster. This plant is less than two years from sowing the seed:

Here's a more typically sized version of that cross:

N. campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis):

N. lingulata:

N. lowii - when I got this plant from Peter D'Amato, it could fit under a nickel:

Longor sent out a bunch of N. ovata seed a while back - here's the one I kept:

Another cool little seedling. This is N. sanguinea, a speckled form. I love growing from seed and not knowing what it will turn out like!:

Upper pitcher of N. Sp. Langkawi:

N. thorellii x aristolochioides, male clone:

N. truncata x (vent x aristo):

I haven't posted Predator pics in forever since it was just vining away for a while, but now the basals have grown up a bit:

Thanks for looking!

Great plants as usually, Capslock. The N. boschiana x ? is ridiculous.

Here's a shelf full of happy neps...

More like a whole room.

I especially like your own hybrid thorellii x aristo x truncata, the campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis), and the sanguinea seedling!

I've got a bunch of sang seedlings myself, but they're not very big yet.

Max, as always your plants make my jaw drop. Your one of my nep idols. Amazing plants, how are your little eddys?

Great collection!

 

[killerplantsguy]

As always, a fine group of plants, Max. I especially like the N. campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis), and that N. boschiana x ? has sure taken off -- amazing!

 

[Grey Moss]

Amazing, the sp. 1 is a great underrated species. I'd love to get one. Those pitchers look great.

 

[macamus3]

As always your plants are amazing. Great growing!

 

[maxposwillo]

Your plants are looking great Max! The N. campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis) is going to be a winner!
