Ugly Plants.........Post Your Abominations Here

Wow !! I wonder what causes this, is it simply a genetic accident or something to do with external factors ?

I think there was either a drop in humidity at a crucial moment or a temperature anomaly, or maybe just a goof up. It never happened again.

Great pics guys ! I've always considered most lowii hybrids amongst the most heinous looking Nepenthes.

Regarding that "N. macrophylla" from AW. The pitchers didn't show deformities until they were 6 inches plus and the plant was nearly 2 feet across.
Then, the ugly pitchers started appearing. Some have been even more distorted than the one in the photo.
Cheers,

A hideously warped pitcher on my newly acquired Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa.

Looks pretty normal to me... a little green, but other than that....

That looks etiolated, not warped.

I have a severely deformed S. flava ornata to post. It never makes a normal pitcher, ever.
 
  • #32
yep that looks like some of mine in early spring. pretty normal to me...

Heres a 'Evendine' x flava. Every pitcher looks like this and some have really droopy hoods. I wouldnt say its really ugly but definitely abnormal.

Reminds me a bit of Oliver Laurel.

Anyone know when the pencil mustache is supposed to come back into fashion?
