Everything looks spectacular! What is that stem with all of the balls on it??
Good Growing!

 

[corky]

glad you spotted that ,its a plant i was given,a seddum burrito may not be spelt like that

 

[tje25]

Oh wow!... I just googled it. That thing is going to look cool when it gets big

 

[jimscott]

Looking good!

 

[CreatureTom]

Very nice! I'm pretty sure your 'noidea' is a N. x 'Black Knight' which is ventricosa x ramispina

 

[corky]

thanks for that info tom,do you know if that is the same as rebbecca soper,it grows great while others struggle,like grows 2 pitchers at once,i got it for £3.99 at a garden center just up the road from my house ,it was labeled up venus fly trap or something equally dumb,now i finally worked out how to post pics i will keep this thread updated,thanks for looking,don 't think i will use a slideshow again its crap,thought i had reinvented the wheel for a short minute

 

[CreatureTom]

Your welcome! Whether they are the same i'm really not sure, some places say that 'Rebecca Soper' is Ventricosa x Ramispina, the same as 'Black Knight', whilst others say it is Gracillima x Ventricosa..

been having a look around and the plant was hybridised by matt soper and named after his daughter,he says his plant is ramispina x vent,i don't expect to ever know for sure,as far as i am aware the rebecca soper is more likely to be found in the way i found mine,or are the black knights a common hybrid in the uk can not say i have seen them advertised over here,have you

[mato]

Niiiiiiice! Can't wait for my ovata to start pitchering. Awesome plants, Corky!

 

[corky]

thanks mato its a shame the ovata looses its stripes and turns to a dark peristrome

 

[mass]

Very nice.
May be sanguinea 'Purple'.. or some sort of hybrid.
