Show Me Your N. aristolochioides Hybrids!

[Whimgrinder]

When (if) my sibuyanensis x (spectabilis x aristolochioides) pitchers anytime soon, I'll post a pic. Its a stunner, but due to the sibuyanensis in it, it doesn't pitcher often.

I've become rather ruthless in culling sibuyanensis hybrids that are stingy with pitchers. I haven't got the room for big plants that make one pitcher a year. Yes -- I'm looking at you, sibuyanensis x spectabilis

Do the pitchers at least last relatively long?

The one pitcher sibuyanensis X spectabilis produced early in 2013 lasted until a few weeks ago, when I finally cut it off. Like most Nepenthes, it died back gradually and spent several months in that limbo state of "top half dried, bottom half still alive" state. It was still in that state when I cut the pitcher off.

Not bad on the lifetime of the pitcher at least then.

New nepenthes burbidgeae x aristolochioides, pitcher.

Cute!

Anyone growing N. (singalana x spectabilis) x aristolochioides?

 

[Whimgrinder]

I have singalana X aristolochioides....not the same, I know, but....

(spectabilis x ventricosa) x aristolochioides

 

[NatchGreyes]

A few pitchers on both my aristolochioides x spectabilis and aristolochioides x (ventricosa x spectabilis).

An update on that aristolochioides x jacquelineae

 

[Red Lowii]

Nice pics everyone, NatchGreyes, it's early days but to me that looks like pure aristo, I can't see any jacq in there

Yeah, we'll see how it turns out. The pitchers are too small and juvenile to tell, but the leaves are very much like the spat. x jacq - rigid and lanceolate with little-to-no "hair". In contrast, the aristo that I have has slightly wider lanceolate leaves (i.e. the proportions are slightly different) and some "hair" on the leaves themselves. (The "hairiness," however doesn't seem to translate to the two aristo hybrids I have, so I'm not sure that's something that is at all determinative or present at all stages of growth). (All that being said, I can see from one of Paul's old photos how remarkable similar it looks to a juvenile aristo., so IDK).

Any pics of BE's N. aristo x talangensis?

 

[jurow]

Any pics of BE's N. aristo x talangensis?

Somewhat "meh" so far, but I still have high hopes:

 

[Red Lowii]

Thanks for posting these Jurow, I was hoping that aristo would dominate a little more, looks like talangensis got the upper hand, looks not that much different to N.bellii x aristo

 

[Red Lowii]

Anyone growing this one? N. glabrata x aristolochioides

 

[Red Lowii]

One of my clones:

Another clone, this one was buried under an inch of media, too CUTE!
