Pitcher of the Month May 2014

[Maiden]

It seems red is the color of the month, so I will maintain the theme! N. lowii X talangensis:

Amazing color and shape paul, have you made this cross yourself?

François,
I believe this is an Exotica Plants hybrid. I acquired it from Tony Paroubek about a year and a half ago. So -- no -- I cannot take credit for this hybrid

Stellar plant, gloriously photographed. That isn't the BE macrophylla, is it?

iirc it is a seed grown specimen, a really great clone too.

Thanks Paul,
ummmm, I didn't use my cell phone that time.... ;-)

Honestly, It was a gift so I really don't know the pedigree.... I thought it was seed grown, but was told later that it wasn't.
So ummmm, dunno

Its more likely to be wistuba clone then, this one doesnt look like the BE clone at all to me.

Incredible. The drool on the lid is just icing on the cake.

Literally!

I have long meant to try some Nep nectar but I spray too regularly.... plus, they're on a steady diet of greenhouse cockroaches and that just doesn't sound appetizing.

Some are just sugar, but a few have a honey-like flavor to them. This one is just plain sugary.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Wait, you eat that stuff?

 

[hcarlton]

I've got a few plants that seem to have an almost citrus-tangy type flavor to them, a lot of the Philippine species or hybrids with parents from there....

I scrape a little onto my toast every morning for breakfast! Nom nom.

Beware those who eat Nepenthes nectar--wouldn't want to accidentally lose your footing and fall in!

 

[Tanukimo]

Sounds like an interesting dietary supplement!
