I was wondering if anyone is growing this particular hybrid? I haven't been able to find any pictures so far except for BEs seedling pic from the catalog.
Nope. I've looked, too. I did just receive the related spath x jacq and will take photos of its pitchers when it starts to pitcher since there don't seem to be any. (I'd imagine that they'd be somewhat similar).

I just received mine about three weeks ago and it is still small (only 3" in diameter). But, it is putting on a new pitcher that should open in about a week. I will post some pictures when it does
This is definitely a cross I'd love to see pictures of, but seems like everyone only has young plants.
As for the spath x jacq, I can vouch for the fantastic looks. Mine is only very young, but a fast grower, and showing a LOT of jacq influence.
I do NOT have the spectabilis X jacquelineae cross, but I do have the EP hybrid spathulata X jacquelineae, which is getting quite mature now:
I like this hybrid a lot -- its very easy to grow and jaquelineae traits dominate the pitcher morphology, as you can see! Its a fine plant. I really like the wide red, flat peristome.
So I think it's reasonable to say the new cross will resemble closest the N. (maxima x spectabilis) x jacquelineae cross
The BE's Spectabilis-Giant(BE-3178) has a nice flar-ish peristome, I prediction this will help the new cross to be nice and flared just like in the case of (max x spect) x jacq
