Was doing some cleaning in the tanks & noticed that a N. inermis cutting had established itself & was producing uppers.

This cutting (along with N. jamban, hamata, tenuis & others) will probably be available in the annual spring charity binge ....

After Ron's beautiful inermis, I expect most of us packed up our JPGs and went home for the month! I'm going to be brave....
N. naga:

(I don't see any evidence that I have submitted this before, but if I have, please say so and I will remove it, post haste)

 

[Red Lowii]

Great entries everyone! set the bar very high for this month

 

[hcarlton]

Geez, that naga keeps getting better and better! You have the winner of all winning clones of that species.....

Not sure if it's really worth entering now after these first few, but what the heck:
N. spectabilis "Giant"

[Red Lowii]

Out of curiosity, has anyone flowered a female lowii x truncata, other than Ep ofcouse

 

[Favian]

Here is my lowii x truncata "Wide Peristome" The pitcher is a little over 9 inches. I'm a fan



front side taken two days later.

 

[pmatil]

Just beautiful.

 

[catrus]

Those are some great pitchers! I know I don't have a chance at this but I want to play, too.
This is my N. bicalarata orange today.

 

[Red Lowii]

That's a great looking Bical Catrus! Great set of fangs!

 

[catrus]

Thanks, Red Lowii.

 

[pmatil]

Nice teeth. How big are the leaves?

 

[catrus]

Here pmatil:

 

[corky]

great entries so far,here is n.ovata,for some weird reason it decided to produce this pitcher easy three times larger than the previous ,

 

[RL7836]

Interesting / odd -- I can see everyone's pics except Catrus (neither the original nor the one for pmatil).
Edit: the posts are blank except for Catrus's words but I figured there must be pics since everyone else is seeing them. I hit 'Reply with quote', grabbed the pic url & was able to look at them in a new tab (beautiful pitcher Catrus! I could never grow one of those monsters ). Quite odd that I cannot see them normally ....

 

[catrus]

That is odd. But, thanks!
