Nothing goofy at all about that pitcher. You have some gorgeous plants!
 
  • #262
wow spectabilis x talangesis is an incredible plant!
 
  • #263
Thank you guys! :-D

I really like it too... it would appear that it reacts to environmental conditions in more profound ways than other Nepenthes I've grown... :scratch:
 
  • #264
Oh man XD you plants are so nice!
 
  • #265
Awesome. The N. eymae x ephippiata peristome reminds me a lot of the burb x eddie peristome.
 
  • #267
Dex, you grow your plants extremely well :) that makes all the normal looking hybrids look fantastic!
 
  • #268
Thanks Edward. :) On the contrary I feel that normal hybrids are actually just fantastic anyway.
 
  • #269
great pics dex loving the vent x hami and your hami looking good

Thanks corky. But see this is why you gotta be careful with these little nicknames. "hami" to me would be short of hamiguitanensis, but clearly you meant hamata. Anyway, thanks!

Some pitchers popping lately:

N. singalana x hamata official has its 6th pitcher

You can see that it is twice the size of the first pitcher it made for me.

This ventricosa x hamata has six going on seven pitchers as well. I'm really impressed with these hamata hybrid's rosetting capabilities! Here's # 6

This makes me more excited than anything else in the terrarium

D. regia loving the beta pellets.

New guy that came in a week ago. N. campanulata x maxima, thanks Zu for making me appreciate campanulata and it's spawn. :-D

This Cephalotus that had spent two weeks in the mail is doing good, putting up all sorts of leaves. I wouldn't mind a pitcher though...

The goofy but loveable N. glandulifera x boschiana. Last pitcher looked more like boschiana, this one looks more like glandulifera, funny.

N. ventricosa x glandulifera, as always.

This is a classic example of growing lowlanders as a highlander. N. clipeata x (clipeata x eymae), this latest pitcher is just very unexciting, it is small, the lid barely opened up much at all, and the markings are just sort of "meh". Not to mention the characteristic waist is less pronounced. I'm sure in a lowland/intermediate environment this pitcher would have been much larger and more impressive.

This is a classic example of why you should feed your Heliamphora. After putting diluted fertilizer in the pitchers, it threw out this one. Much larger! I am glad to see this plant finally doing something. H. pulchella

For some reason the peristome on this latest N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana is just great. It kind of reminds of me N. x sabre 'dark cherry'

Looking very nice. I like the hamata and campanulata hybrids.
 
  • #272
Nice plants! Those hamata hybrids are amazing!
 
  • #273
Meh, I don't like any besides all of them. :suspect:
 
  • #274
Insane burbeddie peristome!!! It almost looks like an Elizabethan ruffle collar.
 
  • #275
Hear hear... that burb x eddie is fantastic. Can't wait until mine starts looking like that...in a few years... :0o:
 
  • #276
Jeebus... Incredible plants... That burbeddie is awesomesauce.

Madness

MADNESS!

Thanks for the kind words, all. You know it makes my world go round.

Here's two new-comers to the terrarium. Both of them are so much larger than I was expecting. I was really expecting very small seedlings. These are large seedlings.

I am really particularly excited about this one: N. robcantleyi "Queen of Hearts" x maxima

Really dark mottled pitchers, even at this size.

And already very nice colorful leaves.

DSCN7462.jpg


N. talangensis x hamata, should be quite interesting. Can't wait for this to open.

DSCN7463.jpg


I was shocked by the size of this one, also intrigued by the unusually large internode spacing at such a small size.

Cousins.

Nice acquisitions Dex! I cant wait to see the rob x maxima get bigger.
 
  • #279
Ooooh, talangensis x hamata, can't wait for that to mature :)

I'm jealous of your burb x Eddie...
 
  • #280
rob x max shoudl be a very interesting cross, both have good colors and peristomes...
