Some new pics from here and there.....

N. robcantleyi x tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And speaking of UV, since I got a new light I went nuts looking at all the plants. Selected some of my favorites for posting this month. First, without:

N. ventricosa x spectabilis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And with (didn't take pairs for all but I did some):

N. ventricosa x spectabilis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Only had a couple that showed this trait, yellow or non-glowing peristomes but with teeth lighting up:

N. mira by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. robcantleyi x maxima BE-3428 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
You saw the red, red peristome of this in the previous post. Turns out eddy hybrids turn peristomes yellow in UV

N. truncata "Giant" x edwardsiana "Marai Parai" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. ventricosa x tiveyi SG C and spectabilis x bicalcarata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. barcelonae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. clipeata x bongso by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. naga SG B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I wanna see a full-grown rajah under UV after seeing this:

And this one behaved weird too. Nothing special sticking out in normal light:

N. eustachya x tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
But under UV, the pitcher color changed right where the liquid level sits in the bottom...

N. eustachya x tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. mapuluensis SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Another that really makes me want to see a full-grown mapuluensis under UV

N. boschiana BE-3448 x (merrilliana x campanulata) B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Nothing glowed on this one but the peristome:

N. robcantleyi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
lowii hairs glow

N. x briggsiana by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. ventricosa x ramispina by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. adrianii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

And I've got one more special photo...

hcarlton · Nov 29, 2022

And for the finale: I have a pair of huge robcantleyi x maxima flower stalks that I'm working on loading up with pollen (crosses with Leviathan or jacquelineae x tenuis, anyone?), and naturally I had to see what the flowers do in UV. Turns out, the nectar glands turn into disco lights:

adnedarn · Nov 29, 2022

Very cool, I enjoy taking the UV light out to the greenhouses!

hcarlton · Dec 30, 2022

So these seeds (of all strictly lowland hybrids) were sent to me after being stored for a year in a fridge...and had no real issues sprouting up

This one looks a little less alive, but there are 20+ sprouts in there

Repotted my clipeata..

N. clipeata CK female by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

And this leaf has subsequently doubled in size relative to the last one. At this rate I might get proper peltate growth in only a leaf or two.

Oh, and...my N. Black Dragon is flowering!!!

N. Black Dragon by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
So, uh, if anyone knows of a flowering female lowii, edwardsiana, or hamata out there...we could make enhanced, black versions of all those famous hybrids!

hcarlton · Feb 18, 2023

Moving has been a grand hassle...but a lot of the plants have already begun settling in again

And I put it in a teapot modeled after the species (teapot would be functional too, if I didn't keep sticking dirt in it...)

N. maxima "Palu, Sulawesi" SG A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Camden M · Feb 18, 2023

What’s the leaf span of the palawanensis? It seems really small to be putting out that long of a tendril.

hcarlton · Feb 19, 2023

Tendril length isn't really a factor of age, but species habit. palawanensis is just one of those that makes long tendrils, like longifolia, glabrata, etc. and does so very early.

Part 4...starting with another funky pot!

hamata pitcher by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

hamata pitcher by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Now, because my pure hamata is already in a decently sized pot and fairly happy looking, not moving it...but sibuyanensis x hamata got this one

N. sibuyanensis x hamata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
green albo has begun vining...

N. albomarginata BE-3004 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. albomarginata BE-3004 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
This plant is also now flowering female!

N. ventricosa "K" EP x alba AW by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
My first veitchii has just doubled in size

N. veitchii "Batu Lawi" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And also repotting my alata...

N. alata "Flames of Apo" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Into this monstrosity

Pot for N. alata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Waiting for the last seed pods on this girl to ripen so I can cut the massive vine back

N. 'Helen' x spectabilis PB -HC A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Just gave this a big upgrade pot too, so hoping it takes off to be the monster it should be

N. rajah x robcantleyi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And, lastly, just got the first pitcher at the new place from this beauty (and the biggest so far)

N. truncata x spectabilis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

adnedarn · Apr 22, 2023

Is the N. platychila x robcantleyi a freshly opened pitcher? Also, I like your alba and veitchii

hcarlton · Apr 22, 2023

Not particularly; the peristomes fold back a fair bit on most but not much further than as seen, and it's a GREEN plant, blindingly so, at all times. Can't get the thing to flower or else I'd be cutting the vines back, because there are 2 and they're both getting huge at this point.

hcarlton · May 28, 2023

Still waiting for this tease to flower again...

N. boschiana BE-3448 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. boschiana BE-3448 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And just repotted this chunk, just need a flower on it too (before the basals overtake the main vine)

N. truncata x aristolochioides by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Starting to find the new sweet spot for erucoides

N. erucoides by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And this other relatively new arrival has also been exploding in size; the new leaf has doubled the diameter of the plant

N. hispida by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Among the newest arrivals...I had to...

N. villosa x hamata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. rajah x lowii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. bicalcarata Sri Aman by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. sibuyanensis BE-4029 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. adrianii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Simple can stil be beautiful...though admittedly I'm dying to see my two new echinostoma outshine these

N. mirabilis "Sajingan, W. Kalimantan" HC A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Touchy to pitcher, but this one has been a reliable grower...unfortunately has also split its attention between like 5 basals...

N. vieillardii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. vieillardii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And first upper on this plant (for which, I happen to still have a packet of seeds of this crossed with a JH mollis that needs to go...)

N. spathulata x jacquelineae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. spathulata x jacquelineae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I can't convince inermis or lingulata to stay happy, but macrophylla? Doesn't care

N. macrophylla AW by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And this stunner is taking off

N. hamata x platychila by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. maxima "Palu Sulawesi" HC A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. villosa x veitchii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And one more post incoming...

hcarlton · May 28, 2023

May Part 2:
I think pure rajah is sulking from a repot a bit, and wanting winter temps again (though it's still growing okay, just not pitchering), but its slightly smaller mimic...

N. rajah x mira by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Also getting more mature-looking pitchers on northiana; it needs a repot but the new leaves keep getting bigger

N. northiana BE-3357 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
First true upper on longifolia

N. longifolia "Dark, Bukit Barisan Sumatra" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. longifolia "Dark, Bukit Barisan Sumatra" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
mapuluensis also in need of an upgrade but has been gaining size nevertheless

N. mapuluensis SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Also got the first true upper on x briggsiana

N. lowii x ventricosa "red" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. ventricosa x sibuyanensis HC B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. ventricosa x tiveyi HC B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Gadz · May 30, 2023

Great show of boschiana! Does the peristome on your barcelonae start off yellow and fade to red?

hcarlton · May 31, 2023

It starts out pink, and more or less stays pink.
