Nice pics Dustin. You guys are torturing me here! heh!
Another nice macrophylla . how big is the plant/pitcher?
Awesome hamata. Wonder if that clone ever turns completely green? Looks kinda like the one from picture on the Malesiana site..?  anybody know how many hamata clones there are by the way

Very Nice Sir!

The only clones i know of are the Typical and that cool purple clone.

I have a N. Macrophylla being mailed to me, so i think i was drawn to that picture first.

Hi Robin! The N. macrophylla is approx. 6 inches in diameter with pitchers reaching 2 inches tall so far. It is VERY progress with size increments, kinda like a big toothy N. truncata, the next leaf is always bigger!

Regarding the N. hamata, my lowers are very very dark, almost black, I like to nickname mine "midnight black" though not of my labels, just verbally for now, perhaps I will register it if it maintains this neat dark coloring. The uppers don't seem to go to pure green like they should, seem to always have the purplish tinge to the teeth, although its only made two uppers...I am going to trim it in the spring so hopefully that will encourage more growth and I can get 2 vines going with 2x's the uppers!

I contacted Malesiana a while back and if I remember correctly they have about a dozen N. hamata clones in their mix. BExotics has two.. I think. Wistuba has 2 or 3. So there are quite a few. My plant produced a few upper looking pitchers that had black teeth but eventually they started coming out all green. Suspect that is par for the course and Dustins will turn green. Be nice if it doesn't though.

Nice picture thingies!

Cool. I'm right behind you guys with my macrophylla. look out! By the way all your plants look great, I didn't mean to single out just a few.
I hear ya about dividing it for 2x the uppers! I took a couple of shoots off mine for the same reason. I have one already rooted.  You guys probably already know this, but hamata is easy to root. No bag or anything. 4 weeks easy.

Tony,
@!#@!#@!$# 12 clones?? including the others, ( I think Andreas has at least 4 now) thats almost 20 different plants! Well, eventually I would like to get my hands on all of them.    Hey don't be shy with those green upper hamata pics either  

Tony, that's interesting, I didn't know MT had that many clones in their mix. I have 5 plants from them, but of course there's no way of knowing what clones they are and if they're all different. I do note that one of them has a purplish tinge to the leaves in strong light, but it is also a plant that keeps throwing out mutant leaves and pitchers. It may be that the TC progress addled its genes a bit. Another reason I like seed grown plants.

N. hamata was a sinche to root. Just popped it on some sphagnum on the bench, zoom, it was off!
