ventrata?

 

[TunaSurprise]

Errr... i don't even think that's a possibility. I was thinking N. alata, or N. sp

 

[endparenthesis]

Coccinea?

I can see N. alata possible too. My ID skills are like a butterknife at best.

[TunaSurprise]

i hope so. I've wanted one of those for a while. i dougt it though.

I have no ID background and I wasn't going to post on this, but when I saw it, "coccinea" popped into my head, and so when I saw that EndParens had posted that I figured I should maybe second it.
Good luck!

I just saw the link he has there, and i think he may have a point.

Weeee. I have a coccinea!

 

[schloaty]

Good way to tell is to give it really good light. If it is, indeed, a coccinea, the pitchers will darken up really nicely...They get all red and fancy-looking!

 

[TunaSurprise]

It has been sitting outside all the time. 24/7.

One of the DeGroot N. coccinea clones is more spotted, I think, then red. Maybe Trent can comment on that?

Cheers,

Joe

Send us another Picture. On thta it soulc be either alata (due to the shape of the lid) or coccinea (due to the shape of the pitcher).

 

[TunaSurprise]

Ok. It's too late today, i'll take another tommorrow.

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

Looks like a colorful N. alata.

 

[SunPitcher]

N. alata 'Spotted'

 

[TunaSurprise]

Yes i've seen alatas color that way, that was my first thought, i also think it might be N. sp

 

[SunPitcher]

Nepenthes species (N. sp) How specific. Lol!

 

[TunaSurprise]

N. sp

 

[SunPitcher]

the color, yeah. But the pitcher shape is not congruent to N. sp

 

[TunaSurprise]

The picture i took is of a baby plant, the pitcher is only 2" tall.
