NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!

Show off your new ventricosa X hamata hybrids!

I recognize you from that nepenthes thread now, you had some amazing plants. Are these pitchers of vent x hamata you're holding their max size or do they grow bigger ? I assume you must have seen them at their best.

I have no idea how much bigger this plant will get. I've had it only 18 months (+-) and its stayed quite small and been slow to settle in. I'm not sure what to expect in the next 18 months. And thank you for the kind words about my Nepenthes collection. :-)
 
I can't really say anything about mature plants, but young burkei x hamata does seem to strongly resemble this cross in terms of pitcher morphology and growth habit so far:

One thing I've noticed is that there seems to be slightly more variability among the burkei x hamata than the vent x hamata pics I've seen. That could be skewed by what people choose to post online, though.
