So today I went with Graham and Luca to a certain nursery that had the N. edwardsiana offered for a little bit. I did not get an eddie as I do not have the conditions to care for it. However, I did get some of the other plants. Hope you guys enjoy, I borrow Graham's camera to give these plants a proper chance to strut their stuff.

I bought two of these, one of which is going to my friend Sundrew. N. rafflesiana this is an old Agristarts clone that is not offered anymore except at this place.

I also got two seedgrown N. burbidgeae with very different coloration :D

Graham and I are working on developing a Nepenthes cultivar series based off of the Characters from the tv show Adventure Time. Today we aquired two of the plants we intend to register as cultivars.

The first is N. gracilis 'Cinnamon Bun'

The second is N. fusca 'Lich' It has a near black peristome and is one of about 3 plants with this trait, according to Rob Sacciloto (I probably butchered the spelling of his last name).

We also have Princess Bubblegum, Lumpy Space Princess, and possibly Jake picked out.

Thanks for looking!
 
I freaking love adventure time! Now I'm gonna have to get the entire series! You guys suck! :awesome:
 
A small update on some of the newer pitchers in my collection.
Just so you all know, all of my nepenthes are grown in true lowland parameters with 80% humidity or higher constantly with temperatures around 88-93F during the day and 70-75F at night. So keep that in mind when noticing that I have burbidgeae, fusca, glabrata, alba and ramispina growing in lowland conditions and doing fine if not thriving.

That's it for now! Hope you all enjoyed!
 
That khasiana looks familiar. If you got it from Graham (which I'm pretty sure you did), then it originally came from me ;) . Glad to see it's doing well, if that's the case.
 
Very nice, I'm loving everything I see! BTW.. you are the only other person besides myself that I've seen with a Carmen, I have one that is vining and flowered twice already, a female. :)
 
Realized I haven't updated this thread in quite awhile. Quite a lot has changed about my collection. I've moved away from ampullaria collecting and switched gears to N. campanulata and its hybrids but as more ampullaria hybrids are being made I add them to my collection. I recently added a bunch of plants from the NECPS show and a few of them came with these lovely critters... I sprayed heavily today with Bayer Rose 2 in 1.
