Thanks for any help

Do you know if it's a species or hybrid?
If it's a hybrid, it looks like it definately has some ventricosa in it.
Sorry I can't help out more.
 
I think it is a hybrid, a couple people said it did have some vent in it...I think I found the same plant on Elgecko's website before he updated it.
Hmm those are shaped kind of goofy...
The pitchers or the flower?
 
The flower looks female to me! But I'm not really a nep flower expert... :-))

Pretty plant, whatever it is.
 
it is kinda "different"...but it looks like a female to me! Thats good for you!
 
That's a female. The hybrid reminds me of burkei x ventricosa and the clone in circulation is also a female.

Need Pollen?
 
Mines flowering :D My spathulata X maxima Maybe it is a male,I'll have to wait awhile longer.
That would be interesting.

you dont collect pollen from a female plant....males make the pollen :) i have a male sanguinea orange coming into flower. this is my first stalk too so i dont know how long itll be till i get open flowers. but mine does look a bit like the stage yours is on. just out of the leaf. ill be happy to send you pollen though!

hey Steve: got any females for mine? :)

i have a male ventricosa if you'd like...
 
  • #17
Female flower, you obviously have good luck!
 
  • #18
FWIW I think it could be truncata x ventricosa

Do the flowers smell like fritos?
 
  • #19
lol I dunno bout fritos but it really had a strong smell to it.
 
  • #20
I was just wondering. I know that Nep flowers don't smell "good" but the truncatas over at Atlanta Botanical Garden smell like Fritos when they are blooming.
