Most Red Nepenthes?

Good morning everyone!


The other day I was looking at my beast of N. x 'Miranda' and I was noticing how really red the leaves are. I mean, they are REALLY freakin' red! So let me pose a question to everyone here, what is the Nepenthes with the reddest leaves? (Not pitchers, so, I guess, technically, the reddest petiole, but you know what I mean). I would love it if others posted pictures of plants they have in their collection that might be in the running for this title, but if you know of another species/hybrid that is very red, and dont grow it, please mention it.


Anyway, here is my candidate, Nepenthes x 'Miranda,' grown in nearly full sun in my veggie garden.

Thank you everyone!
 
N. burbidgeae and N. albomarginata from Genung Jerai seem to have the reddest leaves i've ever seen.
 
I believe SirKris has a super red leafed albo to share??
 
The Borneo Exotics seedgrown N.hamatas get red leaves:

Andreas Wistuba's tentaculata the cheapest one gets red leaves too

and I have a couple others I can get shots of tonight including the N.bongso from Malesiana Tropicals, and a seed grown Nepenthes campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis).
 
Check out these
I'd have to say Jeremiah Harris's N. longifolia
Even the growth tip is red.

Exo, your burbidgeae looks like its a similar red to my N. x 'Miranda.' N. burbidgeae is fast becoming one of my favorite plants, though mine is still recovering from shipping/repotting.

And D musicpula, that is absolutely out of this world!!
 
my burb from 'Pig Hill' IIRC sometimes it looks more bronze than red....only pic i have of the leaves and its prolly 8 months old or so.....

Yeah my red albo seedlings were similar in color to yours Zero, a bit darker though i believe, or atleast as dark as the darkest one youve got in the photo...
I kinda regret selling them off now :\ they were cute little buggers
