Nepenthes Pollen Needed For Female N.singalana

[Cthulhu138]

I have a female N.singalana in bloom and need some pollen for her. I would prefer pollen from N.singalana but, I know this is a long shot. Will entertain all reasonable offers. Standard 50/50 split on all seeds. There are enough flowers to do several crosses if needed.

Thanks !

Don't know about singalana, but I think Andrew has madigascarensis, and I've seen a couple posts recently about bicals and, I think, spectabilis.

bical x singalana would sure be a nice looking cross.

I'm not sure that N.madagascariensis would make for a very interesting hybrid. I think Kevin's N.biclacarata might be a bit too far behind mine to get the pollen in time. N.singalana x spectabilis ? Seen the reverse cross..... meh. Wouldn't be interested in making any more of those.

Could do a semi-backcross, I have (inermis x singalana) x mira pollen available. I also have some 'Rebecca Soper' pollen just starting to be collected, and the usual x mixta and 'Miranda'

I'd rather stick to primary hybrids if possible, Hawken. Thanks for the offer though.

I've got another ramispina flower about ready.

Johnny, I have messaged you about two other options I just discovered this evening.

Johnny, if you hear from someone with N. singalana pollen and they have plenty, please have them contact me if possible (or I suppose they could do it directly). I have a local friend with a female N. singalana in essentially continuous bloom. This is someone who is well known in other plant circles, but just grows a few Nepenthes. He has pollinated it with N. bongso (purple form) pollen from another plant of his, but is not too enthusiastic about making hybrid seed; he'd rather make the pure species. Thanks.
