Pics from Jan. 19, 2008

Haven't done a roundup of pictures for a while, so I took the camera down to the growroom and shot a few.

Here's my first N. burkei pitcher. It's still small but makes me happy:
N-136.jpg


N. boschiana just keeps making big ones:
N-145.jpg


N. ephippiata:
N-144.jpg


This one is the posterchild for cold tolerance. It's been outdoors all winter, and we've even had a light freeze:
N-143.jpg


A little rajah with a couple pitchers and more coming:
N-142.jpg


Someone else posted a N. platychilla earlier that was beginning to get a widened peristome. So's mine!
N-141.jpg


N. ovata:
N-140.jpg


Oooohhhh N. jamban. This one seems like a good grower!
N-139.jpg


Here's a pair. N. vent x TM, and N. truncata x (stenophyla x lowii)

N. x Black Dragon - I'm happy with this hybrid:

And finally, N. ramispina uppers

Wow those are some good looking plants!
 
Nice! Especially the N. boschiana, VERY sexy.
 
I'M MOVING INTO YOUR BASEMENT.

I love your boschiana. Mine is still busy trying to grow roots and being stuck in suspended animation. I bought it as a rooted cutting, but my dog's tail ripped it out of the pot and it's been recovering for a while (now in better conditions though).
That vent x aristo looks different that I would've expected.
Platychila, ephippiata, etc, etc, etc, etc. Hats off to you sir.
 
Thanks! PK, I mislabeled the picture with the two pitchers - that one is N. vent x TM. The outdoors plant is vent x aristo.

I believe he said Vent. x Aristo in reference to the one outside, and that is kind of what it looks like too.

VERY nice pics Max... I can't determine which one is the nicest... they are all sooo amazing. Gotta love that Platychila, Ephipiata, and Rajah especially :).
 
Max, you are very talented and believe me, it shows in your awesome success with your plants. I wish you all the best and most definitely, hats off!!! ;)
 
Damn! that rajah gives me a heart attack. Fantastic Max. Just fantastic. That jamban, rajah, platychilla.... sheesh! wow! thats like a dream. :)

Great looking plants. The N. ramispina is my favorite. My vine is about 4-5' long but still producing lowers. Do you think your ramispina will flower soon?
Also love the N. jamban. Looks like the N. flava I'm growing. By the way the N. hamata I got from you is growing tremendously. Thanks again.

Thats exactly what it is. I have this same cross (a basal from the plant in the pic) and it does quite well for me outdoors. I moved mine inside for the winter though along with all the rest of my Neps. Of all of them, that one showed the least stress from the cold temps.

Great pics as always Max!!

Cheers
