yes, it is "natural"
no, it's not because of pests.
no, it's not because of the media...
once when it vines, i'll be giving cuttings---if it's consistent for other people, i'll get it published as a cultivar. lol.

Ahhhhhhh!!!!! That poor Hamata! Do all the pitchers look like that or is that the only one? Either way poor thing!
 
@mike: yes...all the pitchers have been like that since i've gotten the plant. this one was the worst yet though. :lol:
 
HA HA Ewww! It's Nepenthes hamata "Toxic Avenger" ! :D

Gross and cool at the same time! Is it a Wistuba clone or from somewhere else?
 
@swords: yup, the epitome of Wistuba's pride and joy.
 
What a sick hamata. And I love how jimscott, you only put a booty shot of that globosa. :lol:
 
Wow if my Hamata made pitchers like that I'd be asking wistuba for a refund!!!

vetchii x lowii is certainly off the hook, can't wait to see it when it's making uppers.


Nice! Spectabilis x ventricosa is always a nice hybrid, but I would definitely get a picture of the whole pitcher. :scratch:
