Great pics! Was taking a look at some of the older pics too. Getting some great growth on those seedlings. Very cool nepenthes collection as well.

Thanks! Your N. burkei x hamata seems to have much better color than mine, even though they're both BE - 3612. I've chalked it up to better lighting, but I talked to Ryan at the show and he told me that he's seen specimens that were nearly black, even without intense lighting. I guess it's one of the virtues or vices of seed grown Neps, depending on how you look at it - you'll never know what to expect!

Great stuff! I appreciate the shout-out :). You'll have plenty of fun potting up those aliciae seedlings (Bwahaha!). But seriously - all of your stuff looks wonderful; awesome color on your Nepenthes as well.

I keep looking at the burkei x hamata others have and thinking....they look absolutely nothing like mine! There's a lot of variation in that cross...
Great color on the atten too, and the jacq. Ticked I lost all my SG seedlings of the latter. Still have 5 of my jamban, but something about jacquelineae....
 
  • #49
Thanks! Certainly seems to me that burkei x hamata is a very variable cross too - didn't BE release two different seed-grown batches under different serial numbers? I'm growing 3612, I think the other one was 3594...

Sorry to hear about your jacq seedlings, seed-growns of that species are pretty tough to come by nowadays.

Great update, and thanks for the shout-out. I'm glad to see everything is doing well.

It appears then that yes they did release at least 2 batches, mine is number 3594 (I'm guessing the digit order there was just mixed). And yeah, SG o nearly any species is somewhat hard to find, especially the highlanders (and if you're a broke college kid). I do have a pair of rajah x jacq, though, so that counts for something....

The venusta seedlings look like nidiformis, pics are attached to the labels below them... the "coccicaulis" venusta have the right leaf shape so far though..

Looks like I should start being suspicious of everything that comes into my collection. The seeds came to me as a jumbled mix of stalks labeled as venusta, nidiformis, and burmannii...the burmannii were quite distinctive and easily separated out, but I never really thought about the other two. There are seedlings in the batch with noticeably thicker and shorter petioles that look like the "coccicaulis" venusta, I suppose those are probably the true venusta (unless I didn't get germination from that species at all). I guess I'll wait until the seedlings mature a bit to make a definitive call on ID.
 
  • #55
Hahaha Alvin the D. aliciae pic make me lol. That is certainly what I would call "likely 100% germination rate" hahaha. You've got great germination rates on all the seeds. Your Nepenthes look great - they're all drooling like crazy. It's also pretty cool that you've got a flower stalk on the dielsiana that I gave you at the show- it's growing quick!
 
  • #56
Thanks Rich, although you get the credit for growing the D. dielsiana so well in the first place! Congrats about your promotion the NECPS Newsletter, too.

Oddly enough the two will likely produce fertile hybrids, but nidiformis has far thinner petioles than just about everything else in its group, which includes venusta, aliciae, natalensis, dielsiana etc...which reminds me my next note: nearly all "dielsiana" in cultivation are actually natalensis, but the two are nearly indistinguishable. The main difference is the former having rounded seeds, the latter having seeds with tapered tips....

Hcarlton - I highly doubt my dielsiana are natalensis as I received them marked as "true dielsiana, not natalensis", from the ICPS seed bank.

I guess we'll find out once that flower stalk is done developing, then!
 
  • #60
Radagast, once upon a time so did I. And the seed bank is still vulnerable to mislabels, but if they turn out to be the true dielsiana I'm interested in obtaining material at some point to compare the two myself.
