What do you think will be a good hybrid?

  • #21
(hamata x tuncata) hamata x hamata(truncata x hamata)
in the exact order
a predetor with sharper teeth or a complete desaster ?

Backcrossing a hybrid to one of its parents usually gives rise to a plant very similar to the parent, so something very close to hamata would occur, I surmise.

How about skipping the parent cross and just crossing it with a sibling, Predator x Predator?

A couple of crosses that I have thought would be appealling are:

truncata x clipeata - more for the leaf shape than the pitchers.

ampullaria x gymnamphora - should produce nice tubby pithcers

veitchii x ovata - should have a nice peristome

Veitchii x ovata has been done. It's an OK hybrid, but the uppers are very plain. There are a few pics around, Bob Z's site is a good reference point.
