Heads up gang

nepenthes gracilis

Nepenthes Specialist
Heads up, I am pleasantly surprized to tell the folks here that I will have some Nepenthes seed available very shortly. I'm sure I can offer alot away as I have 1 entire spike that is nearly all matured ovaries, which means a heap of seed. The cross, made by yours truly, is going to be

N. x rokko clone A x N. hamata

If anyone is interested, just keep it in mind. I am NOT accepting any "Can I have some" responses yet, this is just a notification, as I do not know for sure how many people I can comfortably satisfy.

Thanks for reading.
 
Sweet! x Rokko x hamata? I'm no expert, but that might be a first!

It is a first max....as is another potentially AWESOME cross that will also be soon ripening...that is a bit....classified as of now tho ;) Wouldn't want to give Exotica any more ideas on hybrids.

Well, I'm not giving them away.

Secondly, I don't think I would trade any to you unless you could guarantee I'd have live plants arrive from you.

Well when they are ready pm me!(or I could pm. you) I`m sure we can work something out!
 
Don't know what I have to trade that you might be interested in. Maybe some drosera scorpioides gemmae

and so far I've had rotten luck getting nep seeds to even sprout, but I'd be interested.
 
AHA!
I will have to dig up something trade worthy. I've had this tissue culture kit just WAITING for the right material to try it one.

I think a nep seed or two would just have to be it!

very cool Nep G. should be interesting, i really like 'Rokko'. i wish my veitchii spike wouldnt have keeled over.

Sounds like a potentially cool cross. Growing neps from seed is like some sort of Zen thing, there is so much time to contemplate the eventual result with little glimpses along the way as the palnts color up and chnge shape. I will keep my eyes peeled for your post!

I've never even seen N. rokko before! Anybody got a pic?

Here's an upper. Lowers look MUCH different, and I'll have to take a pic when I get home tonight. I think these could add a lot of splashy color to N. hamata!

I'd definitely be interested!

Please let me know if there's anything tradeworthy on my growlist.

Here's a lower N. x Rokko pitcher, um, picture. It's the same plant as the above upper.

WOW! I can only imagine what they might look like. Great job!

I do not think I will have anything you'd be interested in trading for when the time comes, but I HAVE had great luck with neps (haven't killed one yet in 3+ years) even moving cross country and shipping them all. Just a thought...
