Your plants are nothing short of stunning.
Awesome shots, too!

WOW!!!! How big is that Hamata Red Hairy? Any pics of the Full plant? All your plants are AMAZING!!!!

 

[Clue]

I'm looking forward to some pics of those ephippiata uppers in the near future!

Wow, very well grown! I hope my collection ends up having nice pitchers like that 5 years down the road. And the maximaXTM peristome is just brilliant!

Very nice red hairy hamata too - do you have other hamatas that are the "regular" kind that have green and red/brown spots and aren't hairy? I was wondering if you do, what sort of different environmental factors the red hairy kind needs - I've heard they need it cooler during the day, so I'm just trying to hear different people's experiences. Also if you have any thoughts on if the two (red-hairy and not) are the same species or cousins, but closely related?

I'm guessing that pitcher is perhaps a bit over 5cm tall. This form of N. hamata is much, much slower growing than the "regular" hamata, at least for me.

Thanks for the kind comments...

How picky/Temperamental would you say the Red hairy is? Compared to what other nep?

Love the ephippiata, and love the ventricosa. Picture perfect.

Nice RHH! I hope my veitchii x lowii looks half as nice as your lowii x veitchii when it get's that size. Not too much longer and it'll be there.

Sexy plants all around. That eppiphiata (sp?) looks so confused!
