N. nigra internode - the stem and leaf margins have some nice pigmentation despite the plant's shaded position.

N. veitchii Bario is working on a nice new leaf; I don't know why sphagnum takes off in some pots but never in the ones I want them to...

A very rare species in cultivation,
N. danseri. I love the plums-on-cream color scheme

N. bellii - like
N. northiana, I haven't found this to be a terribly difficult species despite its reputation.
