N. hamata (Gunung Katopassa) ~sg~ germination date: 04.16.09 (2100 meter site)

H. ionasii probably one of my fastest helis

H. heterodoxa x minor forming some roots, hopefully it will speed up in growth soon

D. peltata had a huge growth spurt after feeding it

H. "tequila" is about to flower!!!

 

[jbradt]

Hooray for roots!

Are you sure that's a villosa? Looks a lot more like a macrophylla to me due to the size of the teeth and the large lid

 

[Heli]

Yes, its villosa. I got it from a legitimate grower who has been growing neps for years, I trust him. Plus it has different coloration from macro, keep in mind that they are closely related.

You may want to have the person you got it from double check their source. It looks like the BE N. macrophylla seedlings not N. villosa

This is the BE N. villosa

for reference.. the BE N. macrophylla (slightly larger than your plant)
notice though the much more pronounced wide green wings like your plant vs the N. villosa as well as the shape.. fatter tubbier..

The leaf shape is different too.. N. macrophylla has much more oval shaped leaves

 

[Heli]

umm.. ok, will contact him.

 

[Tony Paroubek]

oh and the other thing which is hard to make out in since I don't have many photos handy.. N. villosa tendril is much much longer and covered in brown fuzz

 

[Heli]

um... ok, I will contact the guy.

[Av8tor1]

[Heli]

I got the plant from redflytrap, he said "My Nepenthes villosa is from Borneo Exotics: BE-3225"

 

[Tony Paroubek]

eh what's redflytrap? and did this person get it from BE directly? or from another source?

 

[Heli]

Redflytrap is the member... Im not sure how he got it but I sent him a message.

 

[tje25]

Man... that sux.... either way its very beautifull!!!

 

[Heli]

But this really messes everything up for me.
