Howdy, all - Sorry, have no data to add; just wanted to mention, as a fascinated bystander, that I love the pics and avidly absorb the conversational interplay. And, as a totally uncredentialed neophyte, I understand the desire to get a genuine example of the pure species; but the hybrids (if properly identified) appear well worth growing in their own right.
You sound like you're well on your way into Journeyman Nep'er. Stick around here and you'll be there in no time. It took me years till I started to appreciate hybrids, and sometimes it doesn't even matter if they are properly identified or not. Case in point:
Setup, good observations. While sometimes dissappointing that you get a large mix of hybrids in wild seed when looking for the species itself. The hybrids are certainly interesting and fun in their own right.
This one I am particularly fond of. The pitchers are larger than the plant and quite attractive. And has the typical hybrid trait of being easier to grow. Even though I will never be able to say exactly what it is other than a mix of N. macfarlanei and N. sanguinea and perhaps something else, I plan to propagate it for release.
