Part 2:
These two Indochinese representatives are starting to get some real size to them (though of course would get far larger if I could manage to have bigger pots for them). They're actually beginning to vine now
N. suratensis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. kongkandana by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. truncata x spectabilis SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Future monster...
N. palawanensis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And another pair of future toothies
N. sibuyanensis x hamata and maxima x trusmadiensis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
The smallest of my "beccariana" being repotted
N. beccariana? Paigaran Clone C by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. Sunset Songs Clone D by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. ceciliae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. 'Helen' x spectabilis PB -Clone A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. gracilis "Bukit Barisan" Clone B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. gracilis "Bukit Barisan" Clone C by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Both of those (and several other gracilis) I have cut back while repotting; the giant one I have not though
N. gracilis "Bukit Barisan" Clone A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Also cut this back because I needed to in order to get it out to repot. Hopefully many rooted cuttings will result
N. graciliflora "pink" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Also just calling the ID on this plant; the color, peristome structure, etc. just say izumiae to me more than bongso
N. clipeata x izumiae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

The pitchers don't quite yet match the size of the leaves (which have grown in leaps and bounds recently), but getting some nice stripes on the lavicola
N. lavicola SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And one of those rare things that everyone thinks isn't rare: a true alata form
N. alata "Flames of Apo" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Not big enough to be purple yet, but gymnamphora is taking off
N. gymnamphora "Gunung Talakmau" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
One of my last new arrivals, a future monster that's already growing well
N. sibuyanensis x merrilliana by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And finally got back something else that shouldn't have taken this long to get...
N. sanguinea by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. densiflora by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And snagged something to compare a couple mystery plants against: a known N. zakriana clone.
N. zakriana BE-3068 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Some of the funkiest shaped leaves I've ever seen. Sadly, it arrived with thrips so everything had to get sprayed down again...
N. zakriana BE-3068 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Old classic still being showy
N. burbidgeae x robcantleyi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Hairy new thing...
N. peltata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And probably another plant that will stress me to no end:
N. villosa BE-3225 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
This though, should be a breeze to grow and I can't wait for adult pitchers
N. ramispina x robcantleyi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. spectabilis x ventricosa by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
So much potential on this thing, the one adult photo I've seen was jaw-dropping and if this has that shape with the dark color it gets...oh yes.
N. robcantleyi x tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Cross with this and get even darker offspring maybe...
N. spathulata x gymnamphora by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
One of the more famous Indochinese species starting to take off for me
N. bokorensis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. bokorensis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And one of those mystery plants I mentioned earlier; another from another source is making leaves that are obviously zakriana, but this, while having very similar pitcher shape and color, does not have the same leaf shape and looks a bit more like something else in the fusca complex. More maturity probably needed...
N. zakriana? SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And, something I found very exciting: previous upper pitchers produced by "Shadow" were always a bit shaded and so never got to full color. My other "black" SG gracilis produces much, much lighter uppers also. So I was quite surprised when this vine started making uppers just as dark as the lowers, confirming that this is the clone that deserves the nickname
N. gracilis "Shadow" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
More to come...
 
  • #343
October update part 2: New rajah x jacq pitchers have appeared, and the uppers seem to be getting skinnier as the vine gets longer.
N. rajah x jacquelineae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. rajah x jacquelineae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Finally got the 2nd "Dragon" grex plant...still hope to get all the rest eventually (or at least something similar, as I've done with the spectabilis x truncata cross)
N. Red Dragon by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Hard to beat this one...
N. boschiana BE-3448 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. boschiana BE-3448 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Another new arrival that I get to compare in growth against pure rajah, since they're actually similar in diameter currently
N. rajah x mira by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
New trunc x aristo pitcher that's favoring the truncata parent a bit more...
N. truncata x aristolochioides by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Simple, yet uncommon
N. distillatoria by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Not so simple, and I can't wait for this to settle in
N. spectabilis x bicalcarata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And it'll be fun comparing it against the pure bical; turns out this thing gets red teeth as it ages
N. bicalcarata "Sri Aman" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Not normal shape, top of the greenhouse heat does some funky things to maxima apparently...but they're fun to look at
N. maxima "Palu, Sulwesi" Clone B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. maxima "Palu, Sulwesi" Clone B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Now this...is something truly special, and I'm so glad it seems to be happy here. Can't wait for some good mature uppers one day
N. tenax by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Same for this, though lowers I look forward to more
N. nigra by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. eymae BE by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Starting to see some mature traits from the new mira pitchers
N. mira by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And can't wait to see what uppers look like on these
N. albomarginata "red" x (lowii x campanulata) Clone B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Finally did get uppers on this guy...but I think the lowers are more snazzy
N. x splendiana x vogelii upper by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. x splendiana x vogelii upper by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. (lowii x talangensis) x vogelii Clone B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

October update part 3 (and last part):
N. tenuis always great
N. tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And this thing has hit the top of the greenhouse too; need a flower so I can start trimming
N. tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. tenuis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Shocked by how attractive this cross has become
N. mirabilis globosa x hamata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. mirabilis globosa x hamata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And I'm finally getting glabrata uppers! One vine has shot to the roof of the tent, and as temps cool I expect it'll back-fill with pitchers. Hope for flowers, and probably need to cut back some of the other vines too
N. glabrata BE-3257 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. glabrata BE-3257 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Chunky pair...
N. rafflesiana "winged tendril" Clones A and B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. rafflesiana "winged tendril" Clones A and B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Due to the size, odd angular shape of the pitchers, and the structure of the leaves...I'm convinced this is not pure gracilis. Perhaps introgressed with reinwardtiana...but if that makes it bloom easier than my other gracilis then all the better.
N. "gracilis Giant Black female" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. "gracilis Giant Black female" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And lastly, pics from a cross I got from @thez_yo : Clone A I think has begun to transition to uppers. The shape has suddenly turned far more straight funnel-shaped, the wings are gone, and the peristome has gotten a lot flatter and smoother. The next bud in particular looks intriguing
N. (sp. Indochina x campanulata) x platychila Clone A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

A brand new pitcher, on a plant I hope will really take off with the winter.
N. lowii "Mt. Trus Madi" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And the previous, fully colored (for this size) pitcher on the fanged monster
N. bicalcarata "Sri Aman" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
vs. the fantastic teeth the new one is sporting. At this rate, this plant is going to have softball-sized pitchers by May
N. bicalcarata "Sri Aman" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. bicalcarata "Sri Aman" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. 'Autumn Wine' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Pretty sure this came from someone on here who's still offering them, and it's getting impressive already

N. eymae BE by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Chunky, and toothy...I need eddy pollen if this flowers female
N. gymnamphora BE-4038 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. chang SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I expected this to stall when I repotted it recently...didn't skip a beat apparently as a new leaf is already unfurling
N. northiana BE-3357 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. 'Helen' x spectabilis PB Clone C by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And I know the camera decided to look to the back wall...but this is what a true alata should look like otherwise, more or less
N. alata "Flames of Apo" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. alata "Flames of Apo" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
burkei has been looking very nice recently
N. burkei BE-3254 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. burkei BE-3254 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Took a bunch of cuttings from this and several other plants recently as I trimmed and repotted everything
N. maxima 'Lake Poso' x "Rebecca Soper" Clone B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And the first in-house pitcher from this hopeful monster
N. jacquelineae x truncata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

More to come...

Lower and upper on my favorite clone of this cross:

And a basal lower on the biggest:
N. ("Viking" x rafflesiana) x ventricosa "red" Clone A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. mirabilis globosa x ? Clone C by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Because this is what they should have been, and definitely aren't

Color change! First opened:
N. veitchii "Batu Lawi" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And fully aged
N. veitchii "Batu Lawi" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And revisiting the comparison of these two again; though the pics aren't perfectly diagnostic, pretty sure this one is a new zakriana clone:
N. zakriana SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. zakriana SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
But this, from the leaf attachment and overall shape to the differing lid and details on pitcher structure, is actually beginning to look more like a true fusca:

N. burbidgeae "Pig Hill" BE-3838 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

N. maxima x trusmadiensis BE by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
This fat monster looks like a green sanguinea in some ways; really curious what the uppers will look like.

Post one for this round, starting simple but mysterious:
N. sp. BE-3122 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Starting to take off, by end of next year I might have peltate leaves

Stunning as always! I love your photos for trying to train on guessing species. I'm very jealous of your spectabilis collection; I've become an addict.

I didn't realize when I bought it that N. x 'Autumn Wine' is a homegrown creation of yours - it is gorgeous. My cutting just stated to take off so I am excited for pitchers.

I don't have any spectabilis in my collection; hybrids, yes, but somehow not the pure species (though the 'Helen' backcrosses rival just about any pure spectabilis I've seen so far anyway and maxima x spectabilis gives a fair run for the money too).
And 'Autumn Wine' I got from Tony Paroubek originally, I didn't produce it myself per se; it was seed-grown and so unique, I started the propagation and naming processes for it. If you get it to flower, let me know the sex as that is one thing I've yet to achieve with it (which considering none of my mirabilis bloom here is not too shocking).

Oh yeah, my brain misinterpreted the 'Helen' as breeder data and I thought they must just be exceptionally chunky. Clone A is particularly neat - I feel like it's rare to see a spectabilis hyrbid that keeps the really clear striping vs. blushing red.

I definitely will. I would be thrilled to get a flower from that one someday regardless of gender.
 
  • #355
I see a lot of clearly striped spectabilis hybrids, but more with other species that also have clean or striped peristomes than those that turn solid red.

This month's photo montage, part 1:
N. gantungensis has begun actually gaining size, and with a repot into a more airy mix (because what it and several other plants arrived in turned out to just be a compact brick of moss) I hope it'll take off
