A lot of them have stripes, so that doesn't really narrow down which plant you're referring to. Granted my dark clone seems to have a lot more than the others, but nearly all of mine show striping somewhere. And I'm starting to wonder if the dark peristome lining is a locality/population trait for this group, or just a dominant trait from the parents....

N. rafflesiana seedlings!
N. rafflesiana are like other lowlanders, the seeds do tend to need to be pretty fresh to germinate. I got more than lucky, with over 1,200 seedlings sprouting from the "dark parent" batch. I don't have quite that many anymore, but....
Anyway, more pics:
"dark brown parent" dark clone still holds to its name with that lovely pink blush

However, this sibling may beat it in overall color, with greater contrast but much heavier mottling. Maybe even darker red....

N. rafflesiana "nivea parent" seedlings are becoming extremely diverse, however. Some look almost nivea-type
N. rafflesiana "nivea parent" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
Others are incredibly thin

The dark, fat one is getting darker

And, the really tubby plant

Finally also repotted the select seedlings of the "nivea parent" batch I intend to keep. There are others of interest, but these are the biggest growers and have good variation.
First, one of the really thin ones

And the other

A lighter seedling

N. raffleisana "nivea parent" by hawken.carlton, on FlickrTwo of the "dark brown parent" plants are definitely becoming deserving of special mention. Both are already very heavily red mottled and sure to become solid red at maturity, and between them have a really nice appearance.
First is one of the fat clones
N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
The other is the "dark clone," whose new pitcher still has yet to open and has continued to build the red mottling seen here. At this size it's already almost solid.

pearldiver: yes, there were originally around 1200+ (I say plus because the number was too large to get an accurate count). That number dwindled quite a bit, but still leaves me with a good couple hundred extras in my greenhouse right now. And that was only the "dark brown parent." I have a couple dozen extra "nivea parent" plants and a couple "green and spotted parent" plants as well.
jwalker: the two reddest of my plants are the ones in the last two pics...... the other seedlings I haven't kept are slower growing due to somewhat low light levels (must fix that at some point) and so a lot of their true colors haven't shown yet.

Unfortunately, as you can probably guess I don't really have room for new things in trade. I'm trying to sell elsewhere so I can pay for upkeep too, as budgets are tight for a college kid.

N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" by hawken.carlton, on FlickrLove the contrast on this one
N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" by hawken.carlton, on FlickrThe "dark" clone lives up to its name still. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next couple pitchers that background is gone...

N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" by hawken.carlton, on FlickrThe other mottled clone is catching up to the dark clone, though still a lighter red
N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" by hawken.carlton, on FlickrThe fat clone kind of overdid it on this funky pitcher
N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" by hawken.carlton, on FlickrFrom the batch I almost never get to show, a couple decent pitchers appeared. The N. rafflesiana "green/spotted parent" seedlings have a very unique look to them, concerning color and pattern
N. rafflesiana "green/spotted parent" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr

Along with the leaves, even in the only moderate light they receive currently they have an overall light brownish blush, and very little other pattern.
