Wow you have such an awesome collection of neps!

Someday I hope to be able to grow neps as great looking as yours.

The bongos and N.densiflora x truncata king of spades are my favs. I'm a sucker for dark pitchers. The N.densiflora x truncata king of spades is almost a twin of the izumea x tm. Had I known they were out there I would have picked up a N.densiflora x truncata king of spades, what a beauty.

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks! Oh, and there's still densiflora x king of spades floating around a couple shops if you really want one.. not sure what I paid for mine but it was over a year ago so the prices is probably a little more because they would have grown out by now (but omg they grow fast!!).

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

Wow wow wow fabulous.

 

[thez_yo]

Well, I was moving stuff around and got some newbies yesterday, so here they are, and a couple other pics too:

I got in N.x Esther [N. (spectabilis x tobaica) x Dyeriana]

N.x Immaculate [N. ventricosa x (thorelii x Trusmadiensis)]

and N.x Clarabell [N.(clipeata x ventricosa) x Leessii]

AW N.flava clone 2A opened up her first pitcher for me (yes, it's a female!)

N.sp Doorman's Top #2 from AW.. biggest pitcher it ever made for me, but still puny (is supposedly N.papuana)

and from rearranging a tray (that ventXTM was awkward in there draped all over the jacq beneath)..

(N.ventricosa x x Trusmadiensis (b))

N.xSong of Melancholy

And the nice N.boschiana x campanulata that was my POTM entry last month

Oh! and the MT N.faizaliana opened up too!

I hope the peristome does something other than just green

edit: I don't know all my fancy hybrids, so I've just added a list of them to my growlist and I'll post them here too. This is what's written at cpphotofinder, so that's what I assume is true:

Leessii = mirabilis x (northiana x maxima)
Dyeriana = (northiana x maxima) x (rafflesiana x veitchii)
Tiveyi = maxima x veitchii
Rokko = thorelii x maxima
Trusmadiensis = macrophylla x lowii
Splendiana = smilesii (or kampotiana) x mirabilis
Wrigleyana = mirabilis x (rafflesiana x ampullaria)
Mixta = northiana x maxima

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

Wow jaw dropping. Wifey is in trouble because there are too many plants I want now. You folks keep showing me beauties.

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks and ... heh, yeah there are waaaayyy too many nice nepenthes waiting for new homes out there Help them out... buy some more

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

I'm not in the position to buy ATM. I'm lucky to sneaky by and buy here and there. Hoping to setup a BE group order soon. Not definate when yet. Might get to do something then.
Is why I ask to trade first ATM. 3 kiddos don't come cheap lol

[ellisonk001]

Wow, they are all so beautiful! I especially like the N.x Esther.

Thanks for sharing!

Your platychila (from a few days back) is gorgeous! Definitely reinforces my desire to get one.

So - when are you putting a down payment on a house so you've got some room for all those plants to grow??

[Wire Man]

Nice! I think I like the stenophylla better. There's just something about that species.

 

[ellisonk001]

I'm with Wire Man; I really like the stenophylla...
