I like the different shades of purple on the hamata. The macfarlanei looks almost like a talangensis. I like your clone of spath x spec. My clone has green purple spotted pitchers with a red and green peristome. The shape is the same.
Glad you all liked them, and thanks for the compliments.
Tony, I'm gonna guess it is from M.T. I bought it this color. Not sure I can keep it that color, but I'll try
You can do this color thing with just about any hamata your willing to risk! I love this picture. This is what gave me the idea to see how dark you can make a pitcher. http://simplethinking.com/borneo/images/bo_4_23_pit.JPG
It looks perfectly healthy, but its almost black!
The spath x spec pitcher grew in the deep shade. I'm suprised it had any color at all!. Pretty impressive.
The macfarlanei pitcher is just over 4" tall. It has produced much bigger pitchers in the past, but I can't find the pics... Still getting used to it's new enviroment.
Schloaty, most of the pictures I have seen of this plant look different. Don't be so sure it's a hybrid just yet.
you know that peristrome on the mac reminds me of my raf, great pics by the way. i should have my mac early next week but it will be MUCH smaller than yours
i didnt mean anythig twords the issue of weither it is a pure mac i have no clue as i dont even have one yet, ill have a lil bitty one probably on Monday. i just stated that its ridge of "teeth" twords the top of the peristrome is quite similar looking to that of my raf. although the peristrome is proportionally wider on the mac. i havent seen to many pics or info on them. im just going to have it sitting beside my bongso and hope for the best
Thanks again for the comments guys,
rattler, I agree the neck of the peristome does look similar to raff. The one way to tell for sure if its a mac, would be the hairs under the lid.. Other than lowii, and ephippeata I beleive this is the only other nep with hairs on the underside of the lid.
That's a nice Macfarlanei you have there, i have one for about 3-4 weeks now, and it had no pitchers when i got it, i just got a new leaf and the tendril is getting longer, i can't wait till i have a pitcher
