Some new shots:
'Rokko' Exotica new pitcher
First N. 'Lang' (mirabilis Australia x mixta) pitcher
Viking #19 x (maxima x trusmadiensis) getting bigger
new N. x mixta pitcher: I've noticed that this plant has less mottling and a more striped peristome, along with more elongate leaves than my 'Miranda' clone
Definite winning clone: SG spathulata x jacquelineae
first pitcher on BE glabrata
Dexenthes, you might recognize these guys: 4 N. attenboroughii seedlings, who are already giving me daily anxiety attacks.
One of a couple new, very large 'Rebecca Soper' pitchers
Bunch-o' ampullaria 'Harlequin' pitchers and basals
Clearer shots of rafflesiana "Brunei Giant Red BE-88"
lastly, (inermis x singalana) x mira

I know, the color is amazing, and that pitcher came off a leaf only around 2" long (the next two have nearly doubled in size, can't wait to see what their pitchers will be like). Also definitely happy about the attens, though like I said before, I am going to be having daily anxiety attacks until at the very least I see a pitcher.
N. merrilliana x campanulata finally showing some color, and a bit more size
Anyone else notice how the only hamata x platy pics are lowers? ANYONE have uppers?
(inermis x singalana) x mira: the peristome definitely shows mira in it
I was right about the color on this thing: spathulata x jacquelineae has turned the peristome so purple it's black (and the next pitcher definitely promises to be bigger)
Biggest pitcher yet on the ampullaria 'Harlequin at somewhere around 3"
And the similarly sized new pitcher on Viking #19 x (maxima x trusmadiensis)

Mighty fine pitchers there! Love the black peristome.
Also, the shape of the pitchers on your (inermis x singalana) x mira is awesome!!

The liquid on the peristome of the spath x jacq is mostly nectar, actually. Some condensation from it growing near the cool wall of the greenhouse, but the plant is making most of that. As for the merr x campy, if the pictures of adult plants are anything to go by it'll probably keep the light colors.
Couple more 
I've always liked the intermediates best on 'Miranda'. They retain the mottled colors wings and the fat, deep peristome of lowers, but have that elegant upper shape
intermediate on 'Rokko' Exotica
truncata lowland SG jumped in size. The species is known for doing this, but it's still impressive to see. I can't wait to see what the pitcher looks like!
ever-underrated: x ventrata
more colorful pitcher on 'Lang'
and, oh so many seedlings! 'Splendid Diana' x ventricosa finally hitting saleable size and showing a lot of variation,
N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent, Sajingan, Borneo" reaching sale size as well and showing numerous colors
And, turns out I have to get the true eustachya "red," as the plants I thought were are starting to match my true gracilis, so now I have gracilis from Sumatra and Borneo

Viking #19 x (maxima x trusmadiensis)
vogelii appears very temperature tolerant
New pitcher on spath x jacq, the peristome just keeps getting bigger....
And if the adult pitchers keep the color seen on this one, I may have a new cultivar
A pitcher on one of the soon to be sale-size rafflesiana "dark brown parent," revealing already dark mottling colors
There are 2 sumatrana "Giant, Nias" in ths pot, but the one is a lot more vigorous, and already showing stripes
'Rebecca Soper' and its many basal vines
And, ever elegant uppers
Though I think this one takes the cake for elegant: graciliflora "Pink" uppers
And, the ever-growing ampullaria 'Harlequin' carpet

Progress pics on 'Black Dragon': the peristome on the uppers starts out wide and green, and the mottling on the back is cool, but it darkens quickly
Colorful 'Miranda' upper
And one just after opening
The difference between faint light and shade on ventricosa "red"
Stripey cherry 'Lang' peristome
merrilliana x campanulata pitchers are keeping the faint, blushed colors
The leaves are only 3.5" and already the spath x jacq pitchers have peristomes like this
khasiana is in a darker corner of the greenhouse, but it's doing alright
This is the most mutant pitcher the spectabilis Giant has put out yet: no normal color except the peristome and one side of a wing
Compared to the pitcher on the previous leaf of the same growth point
N. copelandii may be transitioning to uppers, though the leaves haven't gotten any bigger
adorably tiny, fat glabrata pitchers adorn every leaf
compare that to the larger and more darkly colored glabrata x maxima
great variation in shape and color is showing up on my raff "dark brown parent, Sajingan" seedlings: creamy colors, mottling, thin pitchers, and fat boys
clip x (clip x eymae) getting bigger and more colorful
And the raff "BE-88" has produced a pitcher with a wider peristome, taller neck, and thinner shape, so it may be transitioning to intermediates
graciliflora "Pink"
ventricosa x spathulata
The so-called ventricosa x northiana I am getting suspicious of, because there's not a lot of difference between it and the above plant

Got some more to share:
N. clipeata x (clipeata x eymae) is already a big plant, and not even close to full grown
N. rafflesiana "dark brown parent" showing good colors and teeth
gracilis nigropurpurea so far only showing color inside
the best pitchers I've had in a long time on spectabilis Giant, and the largest yet on the bottom
fully colored spath x jacq
N. glabrata x maxima
vogelii
beccariana "red," largest of 5
My personal clones of 'Splendid Diana' x ventricosa "red", went from 2 inches to 7 in about 2-3 months
merrilliana x campanulata
Viking x (max x trusmadi)
'Rokko' Exotica

I love your plants. My mirandas look just about the same - it's an awesome plant, isn't it. Loving your raff seedlings, I wish more people would cultivate this plant - I would totally buy many of them if I were in USA and if you were selling. I hope they all go to good keepers.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
N. 'Lang': the peristome alone is worth the plant
Pic doesn't show it, but the new bigger merrilliana x campy pitchers are forming red markings deep inside the pitchers now
"ampullaria green" certainly isn't turning out green. I also suspect this batch will turn out to be hookeriana
vogelii

Wow, nicely done! I really like the Nepenthes khasiana, N. copelandii, and N. glabrata from a couple of updates back. Anything special being done with the N. khasiana? I had a BE clone a couple of years ago get to a good size only to shrink away (and I know a couple of other people who have had problems with that species), but it looks like it's doing quite well over there.
