Seed-grown eymae hybrids

I love the green on the N. eymae x jacquelineae's peristome at the top of the page! It gets a lovely red hue too! :)

very nice dex. i hope there's a blending of traits from both parents. but i want the jacq and epphip traits to pop out more. i know unfortunately for plants like maxima x campanulata, the campanulata influence disappears as the plant gets larger. best of luck!

Yeah I share a similar sentiment. Campanulata seems to be a rather weak parent in some cases, and maybe the same can be said for jacquelineae? (izumae x jacquelineae, for example).

I just can't imagine the uppers on either of these crosses... Such high hopes!

I love the green on the N. eymae x jacquelineae's peristome at the top of the page! It gets a lovely red hue too! :)

Thanks! I am glad that is got a little red hue to it eventually.

There's so much potential in these hybrids. Definitely keep us updated.

Your Utricularia humboldtii seems to be contaminated with a Nepenthes :D

I just can't keep these darn Nepenthes out of everything! :-))

I was waiting for someone to comment on that. :lol:

Update time! Latest pitchers, definitely increasing steadily in size and growing relatively fast, these plants are pretty cool.

eymae x jacquelineae - I'm not a huge fan of the green peristome and it seems to be getting slightly proportionately small. We'll see if it keeps the trend. Still I like it a lot. :)

eymae x ephippiata

I'm loving its gangly weird shaped pitchers (thanks ephippiata!) and its striped peristome.

No doubt some other folks picked up some of these? I'd like to see them. :)

My N. eymae x (x trusmadiensis) still hasn't done much yet. It grows very slowly, and is more picky about conditions. :scratch: It's forming a pitcher though! Anyone have a nice looking specimen of that cross?

My eymae x TM, it's definently not a quick grower but recently threw out this nice pitcher

Hey Mike, thanks for sharing!

That's really interesting. :scratch: Is it just me or does that plant look almost exactly like eymae x ephippiata?
 
  • #29
I was kind of thinking that too

Not that eymae x (x trusmadiensis) wouldn't produce it, but keep an eye out for the under lid exudate as that could indicate it being of ephippiata heritage.

I mean yours looks exactly like mine. If they have different parents, I would be amazed. :0o:
 
  • #31
Yeah now I want to see others eymae x TM to compare to mine
 
  • #32
Here you go Mike, it's very small and doesn't look like much. But this is my eymae x trusmadiensis.

It actually looks like mine when I first got it, would you mind taking pics of the leaves? That may be helpful in determining what cross my plant is
 
  • #34
As I was taking these pictures I realized that leaf structure might not make that big of a difference anyhow seeing as:

N. ephippiata is closely related to N. lowii, N. x trusmadiensis = N. lowii x macrophylla, and there is some speculation that N. macrophylla could represent an introgressed hybrid between N. lowii and N. edwardsiana.

So :lol: The leaves would probably more or less look the same, they definitely do in comparison between my own two plants of N. eymae x ephippiata and N. eymae x x trusmadiensis.

Anyway:

The only difference I have seen is that the growth tip does not do much forming before leaving the previous leaf.

I just don't know anymore!

Bad pun, but it helps with pronunciation. N. eymae x jac is looking very interesting.

That is a nice trio, but the last one is my favorite, a real beauty.

Regards,

Christer

I agree Christer, definitely my favorite one! I've got nothing but high expectations for that one. :-D

Any recent picture?! :)

Nice, Dex, I hope my eymae x ephippiata starts putting out pitchers like that.
