Here's a new hybrid (I think!). So far, it seems equally at home in both highland and lowland conditions. Interestingly, about the same number came out with pure green pitchers as with red pitchers. There are also some in between which I don't have photos of right now.
Plants in the photos are still quite small about 15cm-30cm (6"-12") across.
Trio of plants, two green one red:

Another closeup of red pitcher:
We have also recently made this cross the other way around, i.e. N. ventricosa x ampullaria. I think it will be really intresting to see if they resemble the female parents more.
Perhaps the cross with N. ampullaria as female parent will produce basal rosettes
