So I lucked out and my heavily speckled seed grown gracilis turned out to be female.
The bloom is pretty small, even for gracilis:
The pitcher:
I have 4 males flowering right now and I think the most interesting cross would be with fusca 'Sarawak'. Here is an old pic:
The only problem is fusca is taking its sweet time opening (looks like it could be another 3 days) and the gracilis bloom has been open for 2 days now. My first question is: does anyone know how long female flowers stay receptive?
My other 3 choices are:
generic looking seed grown hybrid #2 (I'm not that fond of it ):
N. 'Miranda'
N. gracilis "Purple" (Might be interesting but I already have quite a few pure gracilis seedlings)
I know its not the most exciting cross in the world, but my second question is: out of the four possible crosses, which appeals to you the most?
