I'll put some more pics up when I finish setting up my growing area next week.
Hasta luego!

Let me be the first to say great photos!

Whats the green stuff under the Bical photo?
Joe

***UPDATE*** Looks like a little plastic alien facing a seedling slightly to the left. What kind of plant is that little seedling? From here it looks like a ping but can't see too well.

Let me be the second...

Joel, hope you don't mind but, a few of mine... must be the weather.

N. coccinea...

Statik,

The little green seedling in the bicalc picture is a Dischidia pectinoides plant that sprouted there. I actually have more of them growing in other pots. They should hide the brown moss once they get bigger.

Dyflam,

The more pics the better!

I actually like seeing other people's plants too. I got a coccinea a few weeks ago and it's growing like mad! Awesome pics BTW!

I love the dashy koto!

Joel
 
mindmaze,
I think I see some more of those seedlings in the N. merrilliana photo. But whats with the ALIEN!? Are you homesick and want to display figures of your relatives? Are you an alien? Just Kidding!

dyflam,
Do you grow that N. coccinea outdoors without something to raise humidity? Great plant! Full of pitchers!
 
OK, I'll add another one. To make it more interesting you'll have to guess the species. It is quite hard because the plant is very young, but I still expect Tony and arie guessing it right!?

The plant is quite small but it took me one year to produce this first nice pitcher. The pristome should get somewhat bigger at more mature pitchers and the colour of the peristom should then be deep red.

Talengensis (sp?) ? I'm horrible at identifying just a guess..

Here's a couple pics of a ventrata I'm growing...

I'm going to post a few more in a few minutes. I have some developing pitchers, maybe you can guess what they will grow up to be. ;-) (they're really small)

Very nice pics everyone!

I am not going to post yet what I think Joachim's plant is until tomorrow morning.. so that others can have a shot at guessing ;>

Later today I will post an 'unidentified' for fun.. soon as I get to the GH with the camera hehe

Wow, Joel, It looks to me like your ventrata is really simialar to my Gubler's... Mine hasnt opened yet, but by judging from the no wings, pitcher/tendril proportion, and leaf colour, its REALLY simialar... Mine is THREE inches now! OMG, it was two last time i measured... My gubler's isnt as red as your ventrata, but seeing as how it doenst get AS MUCH sun as yours probably does, i expect that... The tendril is that red tho!

Hmmm... ceph88, you have a gubler's too, what do you think?

I'd be wiling to bet Tony that whatever that plant is it's mixed with N. Maxima

Hi Tony,

that's a tough one... My first impression was it could be a small N. thorelii but I think the pitcher shape of a N. thorelii should be more ovoid in the lower part. The pitcher does more resemble that of the spotted form of N. alata what is my guess for now. But it could be of course a N. hybrid which would make it near to impossible for me to guess its parentage...

As you see Tony you could sell anything to me with the right name attached to it ;-)


OK, as my plant isn't easy to guess I'll give some more hints (don't read on Tony before you make your guess!).


No, my plant isn't a N. talangensis. The typical pitcher shape of N. talangensis could already be seen in young pitchers. The pitchers of my plant should get somewhat fatter with age but thats it. The pinkish pitcher colour is quite unusual for Nepenthes and also the distribution of the colour is typical for this species: Of course the pitchers of this species doesn't need any colouration in the lower parts of their pitchers...

NICE pictures everyone! Mindmaze, just HOW big is that Merrilliana pitcher? Joachim, is your Nep that everyone is trying to guess Highland,Lowlnad or Intermediate? My MAIN guess right now I cannot make.
smile.gif
Just TOO tough! Tony you can take this one unless I find out H,L,I out first then i may come back for a throw.

NG

The merrillana pitcher is, I think, 2 inches high or a little more. It has most of the bottom under the soil, so I can't really judge it well. But it is definetly the biggest merrilliana pitcher that I have seen, and the mouth is almost an inch wide!!

Joachim

I am by no means a Nep identification expert, but I think that your plant is Nepenthes rhombicaulis. I was looking at the pics at Andreas Wistuba's page and this one looks really similar to yours.

Ok..

N. sibuyanensis

It's pretty tough to tell from just the pitcher.. but some characteristics are the two tone coloration. The already fairly broad and flat peristome even on a small pitcher. The lid which doesn't open too much. And the plant which is very unique.. alot like merrilliana but more spoon shaped leaves.
I don't have any plant pics but here are a couple of my sibuyanensis seedlings.

Another hint on mine.. The peristome will be black and the plant is covered in fine redish/brown hairs. (answer tomorrow morning)

As Tony already pointed out N. sibuyanensis has some special features which already can be seen in small plants. The lower half of the pitchers is normally burried in the soil so no colouration of the lower part of the pitcher is necessary. N. sibuyanensis was first described by Nerz and Mann in 1998 so this plant is also quite new to cultivation and isn't as widespread and as well known as many others.

Identfying Nepenthes is a very tough task because they do vary so much even within the same species they can look totally differnt. And of course even with Tonys hints it is very hard for me to guess his plant. It could be a N. faizaliana or a N. boschiana or even something totally different...

Joachim

Tony, I think your plant is N.Clipeata or N.Boschiana by your descriptions.

Joel, that is a big Merrilliana pitcher BTW! Hope mine makes 3 inchers!
