N. northiana soon to bloom!

[neps]

Hi,

My N. northiana is going to bloom again in a few weeks time.
So, if anyone has pollen available, it would surely be appreciated.
I will be sure to split half the seeds available with anyone who
donates pollen.

BTW, I am especially interested in pollen from N. hamata, as I
know several males have recently bloomed, including mine.
And, although I will use some of my own pollen, I would like
to have hamata pollen from other sources, as well.

Please send me a private message ASAP is you have, or soon will
have, pollen available.

dustin has hamata pollen, but save some female flowers for me, too! i want to cross your northiana with my campanulata.

I have around another 2 dozen or so flowers to open up on my N. hamata, if you're interested, Jeff. I also have N. x Judith Finn pollen that will go to waste.

Thanks, Dustin. I would really appreciate some of your hamata
pollen.

Thanks for your kind offer, but I'm really looking for species,
rather than hybrids.

Oooo... That could be interesting.

 

[rattler]

I have an alata flowering if you're interested (who says you have to use pollen from one species all on the same flower scape?)

 

[neps]

I have an alata flowering....

That might be interesting. I am willing to try it on one
of the flowers. Thanks for the offer.

hey how long did take for you northiana to grow to that size?

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

I'd say a looong while. Not that I am implying Jeff is old by any means! =)

 

[Flip_Side_the_Pint]

kinda vague there wouldn't you agree? lol at what size is a northiana considered "mature" ?

 

[lol]

If ya want this eustachya dark pollen, let me know

I seem to recall that it took about six years to go from a
1 cm diameter TC plant to maturity.

Quote[/b] ]at what size is a northiana considered "mature" ?

At about 1.5 m in diameter.

hey thanks for the info... I guess my little northiana has a long time to go, its only 6" across. Also at what size does its pitchers start showing more mature characteristics?
