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

Once in a while you end up with a plant with less than desirable characteristics. Once in a while you get a plant that is just plain horrible looking.

Here's my disaster of a plant, a N. spathulata x aristolochioides......these pitchers are not in cramped conditions, they just develop this way. Simply awful looking plant......




And it just keeps getting uglier !!!!!



Let's see your worst anomalies and aberrations.
 
I don't have any ugly crosses to share because I haven't been doing this long enough, but that second picture looks almost sad. The shape of the mouth just looks... like it just learned it was ugly. It made me laugh a bit. Now if only someone with better "art" skills could actually give it googly eyes.. :jester:
 
Actually didn't think the first two were that horrid, but that 3rd one? Reminded me of a bloated leech or other parasite.
 
I have no idea how this came about............

Ohhhh, lemme at it, I have some good ones. One in particular is t mine, and personally I think it looks cool. When I get home I'll post a picture. :mwahaha:
 
so im not really sure what im looking at :lol:
 
Pokie, looks like you tried to cross a tarantula with a drosera. :0o:
 
Should I place pictures of a backwards-facing trap and some hilariously weird pitchers?

...I think I will. Soon.

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

Here it is. the N hamata var snaggletooth.
it's an AW clone.

the scarring on the leaf might be a clue to the cause. i suspect a pest of some sort. i've been neeming it so if it's a thrip i think it should have stopped by now. i'm guessing it's a fungus or virus.

Looks like he got all his teeth punched out...
Ouch.

I find dark Nepenthes hamata to not be as pleasing to the eye. Maybe I just don't like it when live pitchers look dead.

That plant looks attractive and ugly at the same time. It's like--how do I put this--a piece of modern art.

This Nepenthes macrophylla from AW is probably a xtrusmadiensis with mostly macrophylla influence - just enough lowii to badly distort adult pitchers:
