I realized I have only been showing highland plants lately so heres some pics I took of lowlanders while watering today.
Unknown Maxima hybrid #2 "Yellow" this pitcher colored up really nice, it's at a bad angle it's about 7" long
Here's a pitcher from a plant I got from Nep G. that was labeled: N. Isama Kusakobe via Joe Mazrime x Efflugent Koto x #1 mirabilis x thorellii 1982. This is about 4" high.
Nepenthes Morganiana pitcher about 4" high. This has much pitcher traits of N. rafflesiana (see next)
This is a 2 1/2 - 3" pitcher from N. rafflesiana "Giant" from Borneo Exotics. It has a good deal of similarity to N. x Morganiana pitchers except for the toothier all green/yellow peristome and a hairy hamata type lid hairs
Here's the whole N. rafflesiana "giant". This clone has a wonderful habit of the leaves turning a dark red/maroon color in bright light, they start out pink and turn dark red, never changing to green!
This is a 6" upper pitcher of N. Petra Giant hybrid (N. ventricosa "Giant" x talangensis x carunculata - I found the tag finally). Despite it's grandiose name it doesn't make that "giant" of a pitcher, nor is it very colorful (even directly under a 400W metal halide). It basically resembles a larger less colorful form of N. Ventrata (see next)
N. Ventrata upper pitcher (N. ventricosa x alata) about 4"
N. Trichocarpa (N. ampullaria x gracilis) about 3" high, (upper pitcher?) It's growing dangling from a 2ft stalk
N. truncata, Finally a nice 10" pitcher! This bugger grows slow in bright light, slow in low light, slow slow slow!
N. northiana the October pitcher will be about 5" high when it opens fully.
Here's the peristome of the N. veitchii x truncata hybrid. Pretty slow growing and ugly fellow, weird yellow orange twisted pitchers strange peristome and the whole plant is covered in short hairs including the undersurface of the pitcher lid.
I hope you liked em!
