Hey Mass,
I just came across this thread a couple days ago and I really enjoyed going over it.
Incredible variety of beautiful plants -- great job!!!
I'll keep an eye out for new posts...
Cheers,
Paul
don't get it they both look great to me,great pics mass,does one grow better for you mass?,i might have a chance to get a BE plant if this is the case but i think sometimes scarcity = value,do you prefer one to the other and if so why,sorry about the interrogation i was just considering getting a BE plant and wanted to know your thoughts,i already have an AW plantMass, you convinced me that BE's hammys are FAR superior to AW's.
Nice plants!
does one grow better for you mass?
do you prefer one to the other and if so why?

Nice to see how well your D. hilaris are doing. Mine are showing signs of waking up after the long hot summer in the terra.
I prefer all of my pure species to be BE plants simply because they're stronger, and (IMO) look nicer.
Now when it comes to hybrids.. EP is the only way to go IMO.
Corky, compare the peristome. I'm more partial to the almost edwardsiana-like teeth of the BE plant. The AW plant looks almost like N. ovata.
My wistuba macrophylla is very vigorous and grows quickly, I agree that wistuba's clones are stronger than people give them credit for.I've found BE to have more problematic species clones than anywhere else - alba, villosa, rajah, singalana Tujuh (which comes equipped with some sort of fungus), and izumiae are the first that come to mind. Most notably, Wistuba's villosa is much less particular about temperature and less likely to succumb to any sort of heat spells. And strangely enough, some say the BE villosa is the same clone as Wistuba's, which speaks to his culture techniques.
Once the plants acclimate, I've never had any weak Wistuba clones, other than lamii.
EP definitely produces superior hybrids.
Huh? I guess I need a thorough explanation of this, because comparing hamata to ovata makes no sense to me. Were you looking at a seedling with undeveloped teeth? The only difference I've seen between the two is that the BE clones are a bit redder.
