Let's dedicate a thread to the smaller, less flamboyant neps

[Red Lowii]

Very nice N.Argentii, looks like its embedded in its natural surrounds amongst all that moss. Has it been producing a pitcher on every leaf? The ones in the wild from the pics I've seen seem to only make one or two. Anyone know of any hybrid attempts with this species? It's been in cultivation for a while now

It likes to nestle in the moss or LFS. Once I missed a tendril & it burrowed into another pot. The pitcher was completely in the media & I had to dig it out - was only about 50% of the size of the others (I assumed because it was constrained).

Has it been producing a pitcher on every leaf? The ones in the wild from the pics I've seen seem to only make one or two.

Yes - once it decided to start producing pitchers - it has inflated one on each leaf. Until the hot weather of early summer hit, it was also keeping the pitchers. Iirc, there were 6 to 9 on the plant this spring. The hot weather has made the plant lose some of the older leaves (I think it has 4 now). It never missed a beat even after a repotting ...

I seem to recall someone on CPUK or the Nep forum flowering one (possibly repeatedly?).

N. argentii x sibuyanensis has been in cultivation for a bit now.

 

[Whimgrinder]

How about this one:

N. talangensis X glabrata, a new release from BE.

 

[Whimgrinder]

Or this?

N. bellii X aristolochioides

 

[Cindy]

The first N. adnata in this thread?

How about N. maxima 'Lake Poso', the mini?

 

[mato]

Cindy's got the right idea!

I have a talangensis x glabrata! It doesn't have any pitchers at the moment, but the one it came with was much paler than Paul's.

Maybe ventricosa isn't that small ; but this pitcher is tiny and the species isn't very flamboyant or appreciated. Just thought this looked nice glowing in the sun.

Sorry their HTTP's I can't seem to load pics, the mirabilis especially as that varieties largest traps are only 15cm tall, the vielardii and camp x are compact small growers, and the green Albomarginata is just underappreciated in general, I was also going t throw in some amps but it seems another has already.
