Couple of random pics

Here's the latest pitcher on my N. maxima x ventricosa. This is always a crowd-pleasing plant for me, you can see the red from across the room:

And here's my cutting of N. x Splendiana that's forming a nice basal shoot to go along with these neat upper pitchers. The lowers are apparently much redder and colorful, so i can't wait to see them! (Disregard the humidity reading on the monitor there. It's never read above 30%, cheap piece of...)

That N. maxima X ventricosa is one of the top plants on my wantlist. Beautiful!

Nice job! You have a great display there.
 
Spec,

I think that is why he said "disregard the reading" below the pictures, lol.
The splendiana is very nice. Something about a green pitcher with a red peristome(or the other way around, like neps N. merilliana) that is pleasing to look at.
Isn't splendiana a lowland hybrid, or am I off on that? It looks like your aristolchiodes hybrid is sitting right next to it.

Regards,

Joe
 
Thanks all! Joe, N. x Splendiana is N. maxima x kampotiana, so it has lowland and highland. The aristolochiodes next to it is a hybrid with thorelli, and both plants are easy growers in my intermediate/highland conditions. It's kind of wierd, but one of my fastest growers is another aristolochioides hybrid, that one with ventricosa. I like any nep with aristolochioides!

Great pics! It seems like you have a lot of interesting hybrids.

Yea, Splendiana will grow both highland and lowland. Hybrids of a (highland x lowland) parentage are very tolerant of a wide range of temperatures.

DOH! didn't notice that...

Caps,
     If you come home to a ransacked home with your artistolocioides and hybrids gone, With your desk thrown out of the window, don't blame me!
