Pitcher from the last post got bigger, and the peristome flared
N. spectabilis Giant by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
And finally got an intermediate pitcher open

'Rokko' is returning to basals again
N. 'Rokko' Exotica by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
N. ventricosa x gymnamphora finally escaped its funk too, and is pitchering again

Finally have a pitcher off this plant too, and a second recently opened.

Thanks to Whimgrinder again for this plant. The peristome starts green, before striping red and finally blushing fully copper

This guy is getting fatter, and toothier

This picture was taken right upon opening, the peristome has since reflexed and turned scarlet stripes on a yellow background

If the peristome stays white, and continues widening, this should be an impressive plant at maturity

First pitcher in a while, and one of the first uppers

Awesome pics once again!
 
  • #123
I love it, so many nice Nepenthes, and such potential in your N. jamban seedlings.
 
  • #124
Yes, now if only they would quit growing at a glacial pace.... I think at this point they're like 3 years old already....

pectinata finally graced me with a new pitcher...

And the lingulata is still growing well, still variegated

New pitcher

Peristome has that now-famous stripe
N. robcantleyi 'Queen of Hearts' x maxima by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
But as the pitcher ages that stripe will disappear

longifolia size-jumping

Still no "wavy leaf," but some nice striping

Clone A showing off its stripes
N. ventricosa x tiveyi Clone A by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
Clone C has no stripes (yet at least), but it compensates with red leaves and mottled pitchers
N. ventricosa x tiveyi Clone C by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
This Clone C is the reddest of the group hence, and far darker in person
N. 'Rokko' x ("bokorensis" x aristolochioides) by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
Compare this guy with the longifolia above, and the sumatrana earlier in this thread. Clearly they are all related, but even in leaf shape are distinct
N. beccariana "red" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
If this had formed in high light, it would have been solid black cherry
N. spathulata x jacquelinea by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
The gracilis are diversifying. This one has wide leaves and squat pitchers
N. gracilis "Giant Red, Singkawan" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
This one is thin
N. gracilis "Giant Red, Singkawan" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
And I have this one oddball red plant
N. gracilis "Giant Red, Singkawan" by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
 
  • #126
Great pics as always. Is the N. ventricosa x spathulata pitcher always like that or is that a malformation?
 
  • #127
I'm assuming you're referring to the second photo of the plant, as the first eventually opened up properly. Of the four uppers it has made thus far, only one has the upward pointed peristome at the front, but all have that general shape and color. A couple however have stripes on the peristome.

Visited Jeremiah's greenhouse this past weekend, and as is my luck I forgot my good camera, but I did snap some crappy cell phone pics

N. jacquelineae at JH Greenhouse by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. aristolochioides at JH Greenhouse by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. burbidgeae at JH Greenhouse by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And of course you never leave empty handed. On top of the Sarrs I brought home I also snagged these two. They've already started growing again here, and I can't wait to see them mature!
N. rajah x jacquelineae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Meanwhile, back home: the last merr x camp pitcher matured fully, and is awesome. the next one also just popped open
N. merrilliana x campanulata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I intend to name this as a cultivar as soon as it gets big enough to take some cuttings from. Pitchers start out purely green, but then the inner surface flushes deep red with age
N. ampullaria "green" Sintant by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. ampullaria "green" Sintang by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
spath x jacq could use possibly a larger pot (and some more roots), but he's still going strong. Last pitcher darkened some (and continued after this photo) and the next is growing
N. spathulata x jacquelineae by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. mirabilis "wide lip" Clone A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I have discovered that raffs don't like wet feet. At all. That said, the larger plants of all my kinds are still pitchering...

This guy is definitely a favorite. Pitchers are still in the intermediate phase, but clearly have strong inermis and mira influence

That N ventricosa unknown form is nice looking!
 
  • #130
And meanwhile, my browser is taking 10 minutes to load all the picture files...jeez, how many plants do you have!? (btw, I strongly respect the TC jamban - I'm trying to imagine how much your entire collection is worth.)
 
  • #131
I have over 420 different kinds of CP, well over 3500 individual plants....and I do not have TC N. jamban, they are all SG plants. So, worth far more....
 
  • #132
I wasn't even aware that anyone had available seeds of N. jamban, although I guess I'm not privy to whatever goes behind closed greenhouse doors...Man, I really need to get my hands on a jamban, I hear they're as easy as ventricosa.
 
  • #133
These seeds came from before I swore off buying seeds from overseas.
And no, they're not as easy as ventricosa. Those guys are over 2, maybe 3 years old at this point, whereas vents of barely over a year are well over 6".

This guy grows far faster than my BE-3067 plant, so hopefully I'll see some more mature pitchers soon
N. maxima "wavy leaf?" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And even with pitchers barely over an inch, this thing has great shape, color, scalloped peristome...and, with age the whole thing turns nice and red, stripes still evident however
N. ventricosa x tiveyi Clone A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

I need to do some explaining for this thing, as I've been in debates with other people in several places over this already: this is my first ever N. rafflesiana upper, and yes, it's an upper. The pitcher curves the "wrong" direction, which happens sometimes, but it's on a lengthy section of vine, the tendril has several evident curls, and the pitcher is almost thoroughly infundibular, not like the distinct intermediates this species produces. Some people suggest the hip it still displays might be because of hemsleyana in the parentage, but...well at this point arguing that is fruitless.

Some will hate me for this, but: I want to cross this clone with hamata once it flowers, somehow. Look at those teeth!
N. rafflesiana "Brunei Giant Red BE-88" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
N. glabrata (and its nearby neighbor, burkei x hamata, surprisingly) has begun its yearly summer leaf yellowing and spotting, so this may be one of the last decent pitchers I see for a while

HC That rafflesiana is just astounding :drool:
I love raffles so much because of the amazing lowers & uppers which look completely different. You get the nice tubbiness as well as the distinct elongated pitchers - toss in a splash of rich color & you have a real beauty.
 
  • #138
Hey Hcarlton, what kind of lighting do your plants receive?
 
  • #139
Love the Vent squat and the vent pale/cherry lip. Very cute
 
  • #140
raiseitup01: Depends on the plant. Some are under 4 foot double T8 shoplights, others are under 2 or 3 foot T5 bulbs.
