The heat seems to have edged a good number of pitchers to open:

Black Knight (ventricosa x ramispina):

Fusca (Sarawak):

Izumiae x 'Trusmadiensis' (this is the one that takes more after N. izumiae):

cp-jul2011-izumixtm001.jpg


Izumiae x 'Trusmadiensis' (IMHO, this is the better clone - which takes after TM):

Lady Pauline (maxima x talangensis):

Sabre (ventricosa x 'Trusmadiensis'):

Veitchii K (striped veitchii):

2 Questions..

1: I absolutely LOVE the moss growth on your terracotta. Does it grow on the pots, or is it growing through the pot?
2: Aren't veitchii K and veitchii 'Candy Striped' two different variations?

Hi Mass,

The first thing to colonize the outside of the pots is slime mold. After about 6 months of this and provided it gets enough light, moss will begin to grow. It only grows outside the pots.

Veitchii K and Candy Stripe are different? Could be. I thought they were the same, but I'm probably wrong.

Amph,

Mine will most likely abort those pitchers that are still budding in this weather. It definitely likes it cooler. As a matter-of-fact, the lack of peristome development is most likely the result of hot weather.

Nerd: Fusca is a recent acquisition that never missed a beat. From the time I got it earlier (March) None of the pitchers aborted and it's put out three of them under my care. Definitely a strong plant.

C12: Thank you! :)

Lady Pauline (I don't know why more people don't make crosses with this wonderful plant):

cp-jul2011-ladypauline002.jpg


Fusca (Really like this plant and it seems to really appreciate hotter weather):

cp-jul2011-fusca002.jpg


Truncata x spectabilis (EP's hybrid - superior IMHO to Leilani's 'Spectabilis x truncata'):

cp-jul2011-truncxspect001.jpg


Lowii x campanulata (I've seen darker and more vigorous, but oh well...):

cp-jul2011-lowxcamp001.jpg


Aristolochioides x spectabilis (these are small basals around my main grow point):
