I don't see any resembalance to miranda perhaps the coloraton, and the lsmaller picther might look a bit, but not really... Pauline is talangensis x maxima
Back2eight, I do see what you are saying, and there is a common parent in each of these hybriids. 'Lady Pauline' is indeed as C12 stated: N. (talangensis x maxima)
N 'Miranda' is commonly thought to be N. ['Mixta' x maxima], which breaks down to N. [(northiana x maxima) x maxima]
So the maxima is really showing itself in each of these. And you have grown yourself a nice looking N. 'Miranda' from what I've seen in your pics.
For me it ain't easy to grow a highland nep in super lowland conditions but after some hard work of keeping it humid it made pitchers for me...probally 1/10 of tat size hahaha...I'll post a pic when the newest pitcher peristrome reddens up
Hey kentosaurus, I'd love to see your 'Lady Pauline' pitcher pics. And the last pic i posted wasn't more than 3 and a half to four inches max from base to top of the pitcher, so there is still room for improvement, i'm hoping.
Back2eight, yeah the maxima is very prevalent throughout the Nep kingdom and probably influences more Nepenthes 'species' than is currently acknowledged. But DNA testing might clear some of that up.
That's coming along very nicely Kentosaurs. I purchased mine as a large sized plant and it was just a bit larger than yours is now. Your next pitcher will be impressive, judging by the size of the peristome development on your newest pitcher. I feed mine fruit flies and the odd moth that's hovering around this time of year. I'd like to see how the next pitcher turns out for you. Good Luck !
Hi Dvg....Nah i doubt it'll be even close to impressive since mine is grown in lowland conditions...Anyways here is a link to pictures of a few people with lady pauline grown under lowland conditions..Though one of them grows it in HL conditions...You should know who is it just by looking at the pictures
here is a reverse of that grex
maxima x talangensis, one of 2 plants i have of this cross
a very very vigorous plant, im looking into potentially getting a lady pauline here shortly but i have other things to take care of
and here is a photo of a smaller one of the same hybrid...an older photo though
