I haven't posted some pics in a while, so while cleaning out my tanks yesterday I took some pics of some of my plants and decided to post them: I hope you enjoy :).

Nice stuff, Daniel. I especially like your N. spectabilis x ventricosa. I just acquired a rooted cutting of one and it just pitchered for the first time. Mine looks like it's more upperish, which is a little somewhat disappointing since the lowers are so fantastic looking, as your picture shows. It has such nice coloration and a phenomenal peristome.

Thank you everyone for all the comments everyone :). I am glad you enjoyed the pics.

Flip Side The Pint: Thanks =D. Next time I will definitely try to get more species pics. I have a nice burbidgeae pitcher that formed recently, and I am waiting for another or 2 to take a whole plant pic. That is one of my favorite species.

Xvart: Thanks =D. I really started to love this plant recently as the peristome has gotten thicker compared to the rest of the pitcher, however when I first received it, it was a tiny lip of a peristome. I think I may have to order 1 or 2 more for outside because it is a such a great looking, and more importantly, super easy plant to grow. Do you have any pics of your uppers? I would be interested in seeing them if you do, or when you do (when they open).

Capensis: I couldn't agree more, but I am still keeping my fingers crossed for mature pitchers to have some teeth/nubs. I actually like my Sibuyanensis x Talangensis a lot more though. Pictures don't do it justice. The pitchers on that thing are just fascinating. They have such a nice squat shape to them with a super rigid peristome.

Ant: Lol, yeah, maybe I should just give it to you since it's so ugly huh? lol ;).

Jayson: Thanks for noticing =D. Hey how is your Burbidgeae doing? Mine are painfully slow.

Thanks again for the compliments everybody :).

Of course. Give me a couple days to a week. The first pitcher looks like it is about to open. I'll post it somewhere and pm you so you'll be sure to see it. One other thing I really like about the ones I've seen is the peach-cream color on the pitchers. It's very soothing.

As requested, here are some pictures of my first N. spectabilis x ventricosa pitcher. I'm thinking about following Rich's instructions to induce basal growth because I really want some lowers for this plant.
