izumiae x trusmadiensis
That sure is a popular hybrid! I'll have to take a better photo of mine to post! What are your growing conditions like Brokken?

D'oh! Actually, now that I look at the photos I think I know why Brokken's is faster. His pitcher looks to show more of the izumiae parentage. Rattler and I show more of the Trusmadiensis. I'm guessing the TM is a slower grower. Here is a not-so-great photo of mine that I took a few weeks ago:

Rattler: I try to keep my GH at no more than about 85 degrees during the day and at night it drops to the 50's or so. During the day, humidity may fluctuate between 40% and 60% and at night between 80% and 90%.
Ice: You could be right - it's possible that yours take after TM more, but I have to say: Mine looked a lot like yours when it was younger and seems to have changed over time: Peristome has become thinner and the pitchers more elongated:
I also have a pure TM and it too grows pretty fast for me.

Rattler: It is also possible that we're simply talking in terms that are ambiguous. What do _you_ consider slow? Mine puts out about a leaf and pitcher every 3 months or so.
Okay, here's some more TM crosses:
Ventricosa x Trusmadiensis - otherwise known as 'Sabre'. This is clone "C"

Ventricosa x Trusmadiensis. - or Sabre clone "A"
▼
Thorelii x Trusmadiensis.
▼
Maxima x Trusmadiensis.

and... the real McCoy - N. 'Trusmadiensis' itself:

Hmmm...guess I'll just have to wait and see. Love your pure TM! Is that a seed grown one?
Thanks! It's actually clone 2.

Hey Brok, this is my Sabre.. do you know what clone it is? http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u158/zero1978/NEPS070709/sabre2.jpg
Hey Adi,
If you ever want to trade for some of the other rooted cuttings - whether other ventricosa x TM or something else, let me know.
Hiya Mass.
No, sorry. I don't recognize it. Looks nice though!
