Hey,
OK, first is the odd N. x Petra Giant. This is the biggest pitcher yet, a whopping two-incher:

And here's a nice new pitcher on my N. x Wrigleyana:

Here's my second N. hamata pitcher on my plant from Tamlin. Another little guy, but better teeth on this one:

And finally, this is the first pitcher from a cutting given to me by emesis. I'm very happy with this one! It's a N. x Ile de France.

Very nice Caps.

Is there N. mirabilis in that last one?

Aaron.
 
I've been ripped off! (over a year ago)

I knew my "xPetra Giant" was not anything more than a yellow Ventrata! Now I have confirmation!

Anyway,s nice pics and I really like the N. x Petra Giant!

Hi Capslock
You sure have some great looking plants.The Ile de France is stunning,mind you the Wrigleyana,s colour and shape are amazing ohh what am i talking about i just love them all

The one id love to get is Dyeriana not many seem to grow it,and getting it in the UK is like getting Rocking horse Dung.
Dream on i guess

Bye for now julian
 
Thanks! Aaron, the N. x Ile de France is [(mirabilis x thorelly) x (northiana x maxia)].

Josh, that sucks! Hey, if this thing gets big enough, I'll put you first on the list for cuttings.

Is there such a thing as a "Petra" regular -size?

I've seen it both "Petra" and "Petra Giant", and frankly, it should be "Petra Dwarf." It is easily the smallest pitcher per plant size in my collection.

It is N. [ventricosa x (bosgso x talegensis)].

Nice Ise de France!  I have a cutting from Snowy Falcon, and it has recently openned it's first pitcher.  That darn thing grows fast!  My pitcher doesn't have that nice reddish coloring....How long did it take to redden up like that?

Edit: Oops! I had the wrong benefactor in my post!

Thanks! It reddened up even before it opened. I have another Ile de France that isn't red like that, but they're both in the same conditions. Here's that one:

Don't know why they're so different.

My cutting took forever to get rooted, but once it did, it really exploded in growth. I'm pretty excited about this plant!

Nice, Capslock.
