Four Hybrids and a Species.

[Capslock]

Hey, here are some pics from today:

N. spectabilis x ventricosa. Best colored peristome in nepenthesdom, in my opinion.

Here's N. lowii x ventricosa, whose pitchers are getting upper-ish now:

Here's N. sibuyanensis x xTrusmadiensis:

Here's a young plant, N. truncata x (ventricosa x aristolochioides):

And here's the first nicely peltate leaf on my N. clipeata (clone 2):

That would be my favorite as well. Great cultivation, as always, Max.

Very Nice! I like the peristome on the N. spectabilis x ventricosa as well.

I forgot to ask: Max, how long have you had the N. spectabilis x ventricosa in your care?

Very nice. Do you buy all these hybrids or just cross them yourself?

xvart: I've had this plant for a couple of years. It's male, and currently has two healthy growth points and lots of pitchers. It's not the fastest in the world, but a winner for sure!

JMurphy: No, these ones I either bought or received in trade. The lowii x ventricosa is from a cutting I won in the BACPS raffle in one of the first meetings I attended about 4 years ago. The N. truncata x (ventricosa x aristo) was a freebie in the last EP order!

Love the spec x vent. It's been on my 'next to buy' list for some time, just need to find room for it. So it's a little on the slow side?
