That N. maxima looks very very similar to a form I have. COuld you give me a little more history on the plant Max? PM me if you wish.

Thanks

If you can just post the info, that would be cool too. I know a lot of Bruce Bednar crosses were made with maxima 'superba' and I would like to know the background.
It's gorgeous btw.

Cheers,

Joe
 
I wish I knew more about this rooted cutting. I picked it up at a local plant supplies store while I was buying somr lfs. Apparently, some local grower sold a few of his plants to them, and I happened to show up the next day. I also got a d. spatulata x capensis, which you don't see every day. Anyway, the label just says "N. maxima superba" followed by the female symbol. That's it. It had a similar pitcher to this one on it when I bought it, and I thought it looked great, so I grabbed it.

Hmm Capslock can you tell me the local plant supplier? I live near to San Fran so I would like to check it out! Assuming it isn't CA Carnivores.
 
Sure, IceDragon. I got them at Plant It Earth on Market St. in San Francisco. I usually get pots and lfs and other supplies there.

Capslock.
