Nepenthes robcantleyi (formerly known as Black Truncata)

I've been absent from the forums for a week or so - I was surprised that there have been no conversations here on the new availability of the Black Truncata babies - especially given how much interest the seed-grown hamatas generate ...

For those who haven't heard - here's a thread. (As usual - if this thread violates guidelines - mods can feel free to eliminate it from our plane of existence). :-O

Hard not to be impressed with pics of the "Queen of Hearts" & "King of Spades" ... :0o:
 
The truncata have been in discussio on the Chatbox, I can't wait I have one reserved :)
 
I seriously wish I could get one of these. Both turncatas are incredible. *Sadface*
 
Cap - maybe we can work something out for you, a trade or something later on
i have 4 reserved.
 
:0o: I feel a bit left out (no chance at getting one), but I hope that all of yours do well.

The Real American Dream: Learning you have the time, money, and space to get an N. truncata "Black", but didn't. ;)
 
wow. 50$ per seed? really?

Per seedling my friend.

And Clue, you'll have another chance, don't worry. Another release date is in the works.

I have one reserved. I
wanted to reserve multiples, but couldn't justify it. So I'm really hoping I get lucky and end up with a great specimen.

I really am out of room though. This thing has the potential to eat up so much space. Hopefully by the time it has some size I will have a greenhouse or growroom.

Thanks for the very generous offer, but not allowed to trade and what not. ;) But thanks for offer! :)

Man I can't wait to get these. I got 2 reserved.

SK good call on 4, there is an almost certain chance statistically speaking (94%) that you will have a female. That is unless you are very unlucky.

So is another order coming or is that it?
never mind- I read there will be another release late this year or this coming spring

im hoping im not very unlucky **knocks on wood**

i bet you'll be the one to make a world class famous cultivar and get rich selling clones :-D

Well i know im not the only one getting 4 or even more, so i dont know about that....
It would be interesting. xD
i just cant wait to see some mature pitchers on those babies, the flowers can take as long as they want as long as the plants are happy and producing large, beautifully colored pitchers o.o

I had one reserved and missed the payment window by 45 min. due to my own lack of attention. What a doofus. Needless to say i wasn't a happy camper all morning.... AARRGGH..... Now i know how Charlie Brown felt good grief.
