N. aristolochioides X bellii, an upper pitcher:
There's still a fair bit of wing shedding left before this N. bellii x aristo can be called an upper. Let's have a sprint for uppers Paul, I'm a month or two away.
I can't believe how small that sib x aristo is. That is an upper right? I wonder how large the glabrata x aristos will get at maturity since both species are relatively tiny.
Really?? This plant has been vining for months now, and the new pitchers are nothing like the ones from last year!
The pitcher shape has the hallmarks of a lower pitcher, I think you'll find it changing even more in a few months. The wings will gradually disappear and body shape will become infundibular like all the other aristo hybrids I have seen to date. Has it started curling the tendrils in a loop prior to pitcher inflation? Mine has started doing this but waiting for the season change to get those tendrils to inflate.
