This plant is starting to sprout aerial and basal rosettes all over the place...I was hoping the overhead lights would trigger flowers especially since it triggered a couple intermediate pitchers (and testing a probably invalid theory concerning phosphorus to try and convince it), but a vine full of pitchers is also nice

And, took a photo of this right when it arrived because I honestly have no idea if I will get this cutting to root. But fingers crossed...

I have 3 primary hamata hybrids now, but only one has decent pitchers at the moment (the other two are either too new to have any or dropped them due to an unexpectedly strong fertilizer reaction). But those pitchers are phenomenal...

Oh the teeth...I'm hoping the new mirabilis globosa x hamata and this might be a pair sex-wise so I can try a hand at making a "lowland hamata"

And I have this brilliant pitcher downstairs...dying for uppers

Also now not only have pitchers on the basal of this ridiculously skinny hybrid, but the overhead lights seem to have triggered an intermediate pitcher on the main vine finally! Uppers, and maybe flowers, could be in sight soon!

Complex as the parentage is on this, I have no clue what mature lower (or upper) pitchers will look like at all. And this is one of 2 clones, the other being a bit slower to adapt to the highland tent.

One of at least 3, maybe 4 winged hookeriana...only one out of the batch doesn't have the trait for sure so far.

And this thing finally had all its seedpods ripen! I'm really hoping the seeds are just on the small side but still viable, because that was too good a set for all of them to be chaff, especially since obvious chaff was also present. And the crosses are just too promising...

My only disappointment with this plant: I had thought it was about to bloom for me again, but instead it was just an oddly folded leaf...

And lastly: spath x jacq now has not only these big, lovely pitchers, but a second growth point
