N. ovata

I took a pic of my newly opened N. ovata pitcher. I love the colors when they just open. As they age, they turn dark purple like the one in back.

Those are some amazing colors. Thanks for posting!

It's a lovely species, I just wish it weren't such a slow grower ... It could learn some lessons from its cousin, bongso.
 
Gorgeous! That is an awesome peristome!

Hi Capslock,

very nice pitcher from a plant rarely seen in cultivation. It is still one of the more difficult species from my experience. Which clone do you grow?

Hi Capslock
That is lovely.a snap of the whole plant would be great please.
As Joachim asked is it a particular clone??didnt know it was a slow grower.

My clone from MT is still very small and has yet to pitcher after 12 months of growing it. Its current pitchers tips are still developing shrunken lids and are tiny. But still an improvement on no pitchers at all from last year. Currently it seems to have gone in sleep mode with the growing tip not shifting for months now

Wow-wie!
So THAT's what I have to look forward to.
I got a very nice & healthy little one from Jeremiah, about 2.5" diamter or so, and it has developed one pitcher with another on the way. The pitchers are jeuvies, but even as a jeuvenile, the one that's been open for a while is a nice, deep red.

Mine is also the MT clone. I'm glad you mentioned it's slow, SidneyNeps, because I wasn't sure if it was just mine. Every leaf pitchers, and is bigger than the last one, but it just moves at a snail's pace. A couple months per leaf/pitcher minimum. I have it in pretty classic highland conditions; about 75-80 during the day, and 50-60 overnight, with 50-90% humidity, and it's in good strong artificial light (t5 fluorescents).

I'll get a whole-plant picture tonight.

That is one amazing plant! My N. bongso does the same thing, it turns black when pitchers age.
