Some new pics from here and there.....
Big pic dump!
I'm still hoping these mirabilis turn out to be echinostoma as the seeds were labeled, but these pitchers are reaching nearly 2" tall and the peristomes are wide, but I'm not sure they're that wide
gracilis "red" Bukit Barisan finally showing red!
glabrata x maxima probably needs a repot (mostly to get its younger sibling a chance to catch up), but colors are still filling in
my one lingulata is still growing steady, but the last few leaves have refused to gain any size
vogelii slowed down and produced some small, yellowish leaves over summer, but it's perking up again as cooler temps reappear
diatas Bandahara is moving steady however
pitchers from each of my gracilis nigropurpurea seedlings
x splendiana x tiveyi "red peristome" opened a big new pitcher, with faint red mottling showing up. It should be gorgeous as an adult
group shot of (inermis x singalana) x mira. The biggest of the 3 vines also has a notable swelling, so fingers crossed that it's a flower. And, since this was a SG plant, maybe a female!
BE sp. 1 is also producing nice pitchers, though I can't wait for the mature, monster pitchers it should produce
khasiana has also fully settled in and is growing rapidly. The pitchers have a beautiful red flush on the inside too
sumatrana "Giant" is also chugging along
seedlings of gracilis "Giant red"
I'm hoping it's just because they're closely related, but the beccariana "red" pitchers are shaped a lot like N. eustachya, and have the striped lip as well. But, we shall see.
burkei BE-3254 was a little sad for some time, producing off-shaped leaves, but it's now back on track. Before it sorted itself out, however, it left me with this adorable little mutant...
'Rokko' x (thorelii x aristolochioides) gaining size and color
bellii x rc is also getting bigger, and gaining color
newly repotted merrilliana x campanulata
Viking #19 x (maxima x trusmadiensis) never disappoints
And though the pitchers are simple, neither does 'Lang'
My two neoguineensis Cyclops Mtn. gaining size
ventricosa x gymnamphora has slowed down for unknown reasons, but still sometimes put out nice pitchers, like this slightly odd but attractive one
the underrated x ventrata
'Rokko' Exotica group shot
My Viking has begun to grow rapidly, and puts out endearing little fat, red blushed pitchers
And lastly, new pitcher on rc 'Queen of Hearts' x maxima

Well, more new pitchers are opening on the mirabilis (no pics yet), and the lip is wide, but it's definitely not echinostoma wide... 
The good news is, there is variety in the coloration, as I have some that are pure green, and others that have some really deep red coming in.
Meanwhile, I believe I got the lucky shot on bellii x rc. A lot of people say that it doesn't really get any of the color, but mine is beginning to blush, and it's getting stronger with newer pitchers
My khasiana is also a colorful clone apparently, as the newest pitcher is heavily bejeweled in red mottling

The big N. gracilis nigropurpurea. Dark speckling is increasing
N. gracilis nigropurpurea by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
However, this seedling will probably be the darkest one, with purple blushing along with the speckles. Even the leaves are red, as can be seen in the background

N. burkei. Pitchers are almost back to normal, and the next one looks to be very nice

The biggest of the 'Rokko' x (thorelii x aristolochioides) is very, very red
N. 'Rokko' x (thorelii x aristolochioides) by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
My keeper seedlings of N. ventricosa x tiveyi. They were selected because some are very red (it's not damage, that's the normal leaf color), some are very large, pitcher wise, and some are just good growers. I have around 100 or so others I hope to have available soon still growing out

The N. mirabilis "formerly echinostoma" from Sajingan. While some of the plants, like my big one, are turning very red, and the peristome is still thick, it's not quite what I was hoping for.

For the love of Science!
A lot of people don't seem to like the rc hybrids, but I agree, even this not-so-colorful one is nice.
'Mark Lang' is a lot darker than my camera likes to portray. This pitcher is very deep maroon, and the peristome cherry

The maternal traits are starting to really show through on my biggest merrilliana x campanulata pitcher yet

The teeth....you know, with how notably developed campanulata's teeth are, I'm hoping someone crosses it with hamata soon.

Close proximity to lights means a very dark ampullaria 'Harlequin' pitcher

And an even redder Viking pitcher. This was in the last post, now fully colored up

Though the uppers are nice, I hope 'Black Dragon' produces a basal soon, as I want some dark pitchers....

No longer showing the "clipeata mimic" shape, this plant still has great color and some of the hourglass shape

The SG maxima "wavy leaf" still shows no waviness, but pitchers continue to gain size and color

burkei is definitely going places

With teeth like this it makes me wish my burkei x hamata wasn't still getting over the last effects of mites...

New arrival, platychila x robcantleyi. Like I said earlier, not a lot of folks like the rc hybrids, but I still can't wait t see how this cross turns out
N. platychila x robcantleyi by hawken.carlton, on Flickr
Lastly, my first successful female flowers, 'Rokko' Exotica. Only two crosses really took off, x mixta and (inermis x singalana) x mira, but there are scattered pods in the spectabilis x mira and maxima x campanulata sections (thanks Paul!) that are larger and may still yield seeds. Fingers crossed!
