Very nice pics! I'm sorry I missed it. I like that first one and the truncata, (is that the orange peristome clone?), and what is that last Nep, that may be my favorite.
 
  • #13
thats the highland truncata for 98.00!

I have a N. truncata like the first truncata pic you posted. It looks just like that one, with lower pitchers lightly stuffused in red, and slightly hirsute leaves and stems. I think I got it from malaysiana or wistuba. It has always looked to me like it could be a highland form. What do you think?
 
  • #15
you can distinguish highland truncata and lowland truncata but the way new leaves emerge.
 
  • #16
what... they look orange or some think like that?
 
  • #17
How the leaves emerge? Well, how would that be?

for every body, i meet robert goleman himself @ this show! nice man by they way. the hortus botanicus is family run!

oh i forgot to post the results!  i got 3rd with copelandii, i got 2nd with the maximas, i got 2nd overall with the truncata, and i got 1st place with the saguinea.  the funny thing is that my saguinea's biggest pitcher wasnt even opend when i brought it in for registration a couple of days before the actual judging!  i am thinking that the pitcher just had opend up when it was time for judging!

Very well done, congratulations. thx for the pics. Were those awards in different categories or did you blow all the competition away?
