I'm glad you guys like it. I was kind of scared it may still be a little young to enter in potm.

@Eric - I actually didn't have to pay any extra for this one. It was only 50 or 60 dollars and it looked just like any other young qoh x kos seedlings a little over a year ago. It has really come in to its own in the last year and grown into this beauty. I'd like to take the credit but I think a large part of it is I happened to get lucky and get a really vigorous plant.

I bet the nep t x q. Wins. If you truly want to win one of these contests just post one of them lol

I'll take that bet.. what's the wager?

 

[Dexenthes]

I remember the good old days when this competition seemed winnable.

*sigh*

Anyway here's my humble entry!

N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana

 

[dvg]

Dexenthes, that is a spectacular looking pitcher that doesn't take a backseat to no one!

Your plant is still making smaller sized pitchers at this point, so you have so much more to look forward to in the future.

Just lovin' the wide flaring striped peristome with those great ridges on your baby!

Agreed, totally awesome!

 

[petmantis]

That's a shockingly huge Royal Trunc, Neps N Things - how long have you had it?!

Simply beautiful.

Aww thanks man! I can't wait for it to get much larger as well. I will probably need to increase the lighting before that happens.

I noticed you changed your signature from the original "Anyone have a Nepenthes "edwardsiana x burbidgeae"... Glad you found it!


Not a serious entry because I used the same plant last time (as if I had a choice XD) but I really like how this picture turned out:



Personally, I liked both entries, but preferred the ventricosa to the truncata because the picture was nicer. Someone called me for that

My entry: N.jamban:

 

[Api]

N. Sanguinea

It has been clearly stated it's a Sanguinea here:http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127874

 

[mass]

Aperature.. rule #3 states that "All entries must be clearly identified." If your unsure of your plant's identity, maybe it shouldn't be entered. Sorry man..

 

[Dexenthes]

Last update, colored in a little:

Nepenthes burbidgeae x edwardsiana

 

[mass]

Gorgeous! Wish my burb x eddy would cheer up.
