Most treasured plant?

What is your most treasured plant? Mine is my new N. x ventrata, but may soon be my future Ceph.

Mine changes as I get into the hobby. In order of treasuredness:

My most treasured plant is a seed-grown N. macrophylla as pictured in my current avatar. It is slowly recovering from a fungus attack and it lacks pitchers at the moment.
 
tri-growth point 7 year old merrilliana from seed
 
My most treasured plant is N. hamata.
 
It doesn't have any pitchers on it. It looked like it was going to die so I took an emergency cutting (which rotted), but the plant pulled through and activated 3 nodes. Slooooooow grower though, so I think it'll be a while before I see any pitchers.

good question...

mine changes the further i get into the hobby and the more places/people/things i see...at them moment my fav's are probably either my N. jacquelineae, which i had coveted for as long as i've been into cps and finally got, my N. ventricosa, the first cp i ever got, my S. oreophila/leucophylla/alabamensis yearlings, which are either endangered or 5" tall, or my S. alata "white flower" that was picked out for me by Peter D'Amato at his nursery a while back. Thats not to say i dont like my others, it's just these are more special-er-er.

Yeah, I like it when he does that. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have gotten my S. alata sw LA (whatever that is, it was on the tag), my tallest Sarracenia. But yeah, I love my other ones. My N. x ventrata is my favorite becuase neps are my favorite CP. I wonder if my N. x ventrata is a male or female, though, probably a male.

My female N. campanulata.

I'd say my VentricosaXInermis. It was one of my first neps and is a great grower.

My Cannabis......just kidding. Like a parent, I love my plants equally.

My N. Spectabilis. I have a feeling my Lady Pauline might take the lead when it starts pitchering though.
