Hi,
I decided not to clog up Swords' orignal posting on N. jacquelineae with a bunch of photos that perhaps everyone wouldn't want to spend time downoading, so here's a new thread.
There was some talk of a possible hybrid between N. jacqueliniae & N. izumiae. The weather up here in the highlands has been just awful but the clouds parted for a few moments today so I grabbed my camera and ran for the nursery.
Hmmm... where to look?
aha! here we are, a little gem, even at only 3" diameter. The pitchers are unmistakeable...
and here's a closeup of the pitcher, sort of held in one hand with the camera in the other - sorry about that...
here's another seedling grown from seed from the same parent. Different isn't it?
here's a wobbly closeup of the pitcher...
So, although it is not documented as far as I know, it would seem that a natural hybrid between N. jacqueliniae and N. izumiae probably does exist.
Cheers,
Rob Cantley
