N. adrianii - this one's just getting better and better!

N. eymae x spectabilis - first pitcher for me, tank-grown from a small cutting with only two leaves

N. ventricosa x (x trusmadiensis) - actually much nicer with than without flash

N. macfarlanei - a very nice surprise from this tiny seedling! After killing one last year, I think this one's now acclimated enough to survive the summer.

Lovely N. macfarlanei! Very tough plant to settle in I've found.

Beautiful as always Hans!
The Ventri x (trus) is a champ

Thanks for the nice comments, muchachos.

I grow them outside, 100 miles north of the tropics, so in winter they have highland and in summer lowland conditions.

I really hope I'll get the macfarlanei through the summer...

I don't kow how grown-up that adrianii is; this pitcher measures about three 1/2 inches. The plant is enormously vigorous and sports some of the healthiest and crispy-greenest leaves in my collection. (Maybe the bugs an fungi just haven't found it yet )

The N. ventricosa x (x trusmadiensis) is way cool!

Indeed. The peristome on ventricosa x trusmadiensis is brilliant. I love how flared it is.

I've lost all hope in Nepenthes, as I can't get one to pitcher. (F- at growing them).
