I feel like Nepenthes sanguinea is a beautiful and often underrated species. There's tons of variability when it comes to color in this species. I figured it's cool enough to deserve it's own thread. Sanguinea remains one of my favorites regardless of the fact that it was one of my first "beginner" plants. Let's see some of your plants!
If you include some of their natural hybrids, I have 6 different variations. Many people say the plants found in the Genting highlands are so intermingled, that a "pure" species is almost impossible to find. Here are a few of mine:
Most of these first ones probably have at least a little ramispina in them.
This one opened overnight and has yet to color up. I love the bright yellow against the grey/brown
This is a mostly (if not as close to completely as you can get) "pure" form:
This one definitely has a good amount of ramispina in it. Perhaps N. sanguinea x (sanguinea x ramispina)
Still needs to darken up:
Here's a previous pitcher from the same plant:
This one looks pretty different than the others. Not sure why exactly, but it's from the same location:
Here's a group shot from all the Genting plants as they arrived:
And here's my original "pink" clone. Still one of my favorite plants!
I'll update with more later on. I'm also searching for one of the "Blood red" forms if anyone has any leads on one of those. Cheers!
