One of my prized Nepenthes.

Wow! what a peristome!

That seed batch has proven to be extremely variable. I've seen very plain to highly striped plants come out of it. This, I believe is the 1st one I've seen with a solid red peristome though. Very nice plant.

Actually, this is the final stage of vetchii 'K'.

When it first opens, the pitcher reveals its lovely striped permistone as shown below.

Over time as the pitcher ages, the permistone turns red/bronze color.

This is veitchii k. One of the parents to this cross I received from another grower down under. He grows in pretty much full sun.

BTW E I still have that K I got from you. Its working on a pitcher. It had a little setback but appears to be fine now.
