Pitcher of the Month Contest: October 2011

[mass]

Gorgeous Rob.
Yeah, you know me Rokosauros. Can't get enough of the veitchii x lowii though.

 

[robthered]

Thanks Mass. I think you got me beat with the veitchii x lowii, it's quite amazing Gotta love veitchii x's

On a completely sad note, my veitchii (k) died pretty much right after I got it. I think it was either in transit to long or something happened to it while it was in transit to me. The plant just completely dried out and died a very slow death. It never showed any growth and when I uprooted it, the root ball was huge, so I dont know what was wrong with it. Anyway, it's now happy in it's new home...the dump

 

[boxofrain]

I'm old enuff to enter now!
Spectabilis/Aristilochioides

 

[mass]

YAY LARRY!

 

[robthered]

Looking great boxofrain

 

[monkey_Cup]

wow, some beautiful pitchers, looks like a stiff competition

 

[boxofrain]

yeah, I finally got around to it...
I am using my waterproof camera for this (Pentax Optio W30)...not too much in the way of macro settings on this thing. But it is great for the kayak fishing pic's!

 

[Wire Man]

My N. x ventrata is almost ready! I wonder if it will stand up to the rest of the competition. Unless I can post a Nep that I babied at Meadowview. It's been 6 months since I started caring for it.

8. Plant must have been grown by owner at least six months prior to photo.

And I don't care to split hairs here. So this isn't up for debate. Please.. PLEASE, don't say the owner has had this plant for 6 months prior to taking a photo of it, and submitting it as your own.

*sigh* ok, fine - here's the jamban for the month since nobody else has put one up

 

[TheFury]

Ah what the heck. This plant qualifies for the contest and I just took this pic a few days ago, so I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring with my feeble first-ever submission to POTM:

N. ventricosa x spectabilis "Giant" originating from BE

 

[Wire Man]

Nice vent x spec! Very nice spotting.

Darn, my little (after taking cuttings) ventrata is no match for these beauties.

 

[mikefallen13]

Well since this opened earlier this month I figured I'd enter it...

Nepenthes Truncata 'pasian'

 

[Zero]

aristolochioides x (ventricosa red x talangensis)

 

[Dexenthes]

Wow what a bizarre and unique cross!

 

[boxofrain]

*sigh* ok, fine - here's the jamban for the month since nobody else has put one up

wow! nice Jamban.
I may have to break open my piggy bank to acquire that one.:-(

 

[mass]

Dang Larry, too bad you didn't say something sooner. I just traded mine away for peanuts. I've had it forever, and I literally LOATHE the very core of those stupid looking toilet bowls.

 

[Wire Man]

The N. x ventrata opened a pitcher today. I'll have the camera ready tomorrow. Why not enter, even if it's a common Nep?

 

[thez_yo]

wow! nice Jamban.

Thanks it's actually struggling for reasons unknown to me, but it does put out a pitcher at a time now and then. If you have a friend that has one with basals, the basals and whole plant actually roots readily so you may not have to crack open the 'ol piggy bank.

 

[Wire Man]

Nothing unique or rare, but it hasn't done anything for me in months.
