Pics~

Ventricosa X ???

I Honestly Have Absolutely NO Idea What So Ever On Where I Even Got It From ???
Grew It From a Small Cutting & It's doing Great
Just Can't Remember Who Or Where I Got It From Thanx To My Advanced Labelling System / LOL

Was Thinking Maybe Vent x Inermis
Judging From Some Pics I've Seen / Color & Markings Look About Right
But I Think I May a Bit Off On That Guess

Never Really Cared All That Much About What It Was Since It Was Doing Good
But It's Making It's 1st Flower & It Looks Like It's a Male
So I would Like To Try And Crosses It with Some Of My Other Neps
So Now I Want To Know What It Is

Any Ideas???

Thanx

It reminds me of one of those "burkei" plants from seed BE released a while back, the majority of which looked like odd ventricosa and were ventricosa.

With my poor eyes, I'd say you have a regular, albeit oddly-shaped, ventricosa. I like that clone. :)

If you ever have any extras...... ;)
 
Oh Well
Guess I can rule out Burkei

The leaves aren't right

Looking back at some old pics of my plants it might be a cutting from one of My Vents???
LOL

The pitchers on a lot of my plants look SO totally different from year to year
Due to the fact that they have been moved from windowsill to outdoors to greenhouse over the years

Like I've had pitchers that went from a green to red fade while growing on a windowsill to bright sold red growing outdoors to a lighter green growing in my greenhouse

I guess light & conditions really have a lot to do with it

It doesn't look like any of my Vents do Now
But it does kind of look like how some of them did a while back

IDK ???

The leaf trick doesn't work. Those were just two ventricosas IMO as well!

Watch that link. It's a known CP vendor.
 
That looks almost identical to a female ventricosa i have, bad thing is i can't find the picture of the pitcher for others to compare
 
could be ventricosa x (alata x ventricosa). im very much so digging the shape of the pitchers. nice plant.

A dead ringer for ventricosa x burkei. ;)

Just Wanted Thank Everyone For Their Input...

I know I'm coming in late on this one but it looks like a pure ventricosa. On EP's site they have quite a number of different forms of ventircosas they use as breeding stock.
I'd be proud to have that specimen personally.
For a professional's input try sending these pics to someone like Leilani or EP (Exotica Plants) nursery.
I would trust their opinions of most any.
