I've seen some mature specimens of this cross, and I have to say it is a beautiful cross. As always, I'm looking forward to watching this one grow and mature. It was propagated from cutting.

Nice nep, I like the striped persitome.
I have one but it has a solid red persitome.
I'll post a pic in a week or so when the new pitchure opens.
 
Maxima hybrids are definitely my favorite of all. That one's really nice. It looks very similar to N. Spectabilis with some slightly different coloration. Hopefully it has the huge peristome of Veitchii once it gets bigger. Nice plant, you always find the best of the best.
 
Update: 2/19/09

The peristome is starting to flare out some.

Thanks, Daniel. I look forward to it, too. It continues to be a stunner. It is growing moderately slow, but I think that has more to do with neglect than anything else.
