Plucked this plant up from an ebay auction last week. Damn she's sexy. Most of the versions I've seen of this hybrid don't keep much, if any, maxima influence. Not so, here. This one has some clear purple splotches on its sides and back.

And get a look at that nice golden-orange peristome.

The plant definitely has a lot of veitchii influence (75%). The leaves have a slightly truncated look, and the stem and pitcher are both covered in short, bristly hairs.
