Im digign the Ventricosa x TM cross...

I just need roooooom!! You guys are so mean!!

cheers

well i should be picking more up tomorrow! yes, more plants! heres my list!:

N. alata (f) - large
N. alata (m) - large
N. maxima-dark x truncata - small
N. sibuyanensis x ventricosa-red giant - small
N. tivei x (northiana x veitchii)- small

some of them even if they say small are a not that small. the N. tivei x (northiana x veitchii) says small but nate got like a 2 foot diameter plant!

my main reason for this order was to get the alatas! they say large but you know how fast alata grows! it may even be a bush or something!

Quote[/b] ]I always love all those "amatorial" photos whowing growers happily with their plants between the hands!
Really great! You are great!
Happy growing!

It looks either like a red N. maxima dark x stenophylla or a N.maxima dark x (steno x lowii).

Hello,
pardon my ignorance, is that L or S sized truncata x lowii?
it looks small for an L (considering thats AUD80) but large for an S!
but definitely beautiful!
thanks

heres an update on that one... seems to color up nicely! JUST LOOK AT THE COLOR!!!!

 

[ludwig777]

N. belii x TM:

N. sibuyanensis x truncata...look at the unusual appendage at the bottom of the peristome; I have never seen this before (even the photo on Exotica's website doesn't show this feature):

N. thorelii x TM:

N. ventricosa x (clipeata x ventricosa):

 

[fc3srx713b]

hey! your seem to have more green than mine! well i have the red and brown variations. can we get a close up on one of the good pitchers on that one? please!!!!

 

[ludwig777]

Nepenthes (stenophylla x lowii) x (xRokko x veitchii):

Here you go Santos:

These are all from 1 plant...there is noticable difference in coloring on individual pitchers.

 

[fc3srx713b]

yeah i guess youre right! here are the plants that i have....

the first one that i got...

then the new one...

well i think it turns out that the brown one follows after the clip because of the brown. the other one has more of a ventricosa color but that one has a very domed lid, the brown one doesnt have one as much...

 

[ludwig777]

Do you know if these were seed grown?  Still, the varience on the same plant makes me think pitcher age and light levels are at play.

Your 2 plants definitely look different though...

 

[srduggins]

Most likely seed grown, but these all seem more alike, than different. I agree that lighting and age makes a big difference on color, but I think there is also some genetics going on here as I've never seen a red pitcher go brown until it was dying. Here's a pic of mine

Here's the type of differences you can see with seed grown plants. My 3 vent x TM from the previous order:

and this order:

and just to contrast mine fro mthe previous order with Mike's new plants:
(stenophylla x lowii) x (Rokko x veitchii)

and ventricosa x (spectabilis x northiana) - love that orange

 

[ludwig777]

Great photos Steve; they really do look different...this contributes to the Nep obsession...you really never know what to expect next.
