One pic of this beauty with the new camera.

You may have seen it before, but here it is again:

Nepenthes spectabilis x talangensis with side tendril placement.

Wow Dex, she's a beauty to be sure...definitely a drool-worthy addition to any collection.

Thanks for sharing!

Next month, its should be just lowlanders...There's just no competition between the hamatas, villosas, and eddys.

Though I do feel your pain, that's not totally true. I won the first one back in the day with a N. bicalcarata and I am quite sure that if someone had a beasty enough N. northiana, sumatrana or maybe mirabilis var echinostima (sp?), they could easily give the old highlander pretty boys a run for their money!

Gimme five years..I'll win this thing with a monster northiana pitcher.

Not if my northiana has something to say about it!

 

[gea8579]

latest pitcher starting to get rather fluted on the neck.

 

[Exo]

O...M...G......That is the nicest mirabilis echinostoma I've ever seen!

 

[gea8579]

Thanks, I've had it just under a year. It grows like a weed, over 2' across now. I was planning on posting it already, it just so happens that someone mentioned posting this mirabilis variety earlier in this thread.

 

[Rokosauros]

Would be pointless if I posted my dyeriana pitcher photo again..... my plants, grow FASTER!! Wait for another four months, people

 

[Rokosauros]

Say hello, my pet. "HELLO WORLD!" replies lowii x campanulata

N. Splendiana x (Rokko x Stenophylla) Seed grown. (Notice it's sibling in the background and the huge difference in size and appearance. I love seed grown material!)

I agree...I'm a seed-grown addict myself.

 

[mass]

wow.. hope my seed grown one turns out that nice. It's a bit behind ever since it fell off the shelf and broke in half. Two new large growth points have emerged and started pitchering though.. so we'll see soon enough!

 

[kulamauiman]

N. maxima

 

[icemansyr]

Figured I'd give it another go with my N. spectabilis 'Giant' x spathulata. Here's a shot of the latest pitcher...

 

[thez_yo]

Oh wow, I love it!

 

[carnivoure12]

Is that from BE looks a lot like BE's spec x spath that was named N. 'Helen'
