Nepenthes 'Bloody Mary'

[Wesley]

I was in the Netherlands (Aalsmeer) a few weeks ago and saw a shipment of N. 'Bloody Mary'. Anyone here in the US familiar with this plant. It was very intriguing.
Sorry for the large (and grainy) image. It was the best I had of the whole plant.

ventricosa x ampullaria

Seems like a very nice hybrid.

I am not familiar with the cross, but that is a beautiful plant.

 

[amphirion]

looks like an ampullaria hybrid.
a quick google search reveals it is ventricosa x ampullaria.

the main difference between this and 'Singapore Gardentech' from what I can tell is that Bloody Mary seems to have taller pitchers and have pitchers closer to the shape of ventricosa while Singapore Gardentech seems more squat and ampullaria shaped. Both are beautiful plants though.

The lower left hand pitcher in the photo looks like a strong ampullaria, while the others look like the ventricosa cross

I really like this hybrid, ammpullaria and ventricosa are species with dominant features in the hybrids, but these two together make an excellent combination.

I would like to get one, but I'm sure it won't be happy with me growing at strict highland conditions

Lovely.

I grow my 'Singapore Garden Tech' with nights down to 50-55 every night and 48F on occasion and it keeps growing well.

Thank you so much Drew! I will consider getting one, I really like this hybrid. I said that because I had an ampullaria, but I had to give it away as it would eventually die with me :/ my temperatures now are about 45~48°F at night and 80°F at day, but my ventricosa is doing good, so I hope the hybrid will do the same.

What a nice bush you got there.
