Nepenthes ampullaria, attenboroughii and more

[shartmeyer]

Due to the emails and feedback on the following plants in some other forums, I decided to provide them also for the ICPS community enhanced with some recent photos from our collection. Starting with a rare upper pitcher of N. ampullaria, which developed on the plant only 4-5 times since 1986 in comparision with the usual lower pitchers:


Another topic was on N. attenboroughii, grown from seeds sown in 2007. The plants developed nicely in our greenhouse and show meanwhile two different pitchers, funnel-shaped and bowl-shaped. Also the size is not bad for its age.


Some may also like this photo, showing a freshly opening N. rajah pitcher with a small N. talangensis pitcher in front. In addition another photo of each plant:


And here are some more pitchers which developed during the last weeks in our collection, starting with N. inermis:

Nepenthes jacquelineae


Nepenthes hamata

Nepenthes pervillei


and finally a more wide spread species, N. ventricosa

Beautiful plants Siggy! It is very interesting to note the leaves and pitchers of N. attenborourghii remind me of three rather divergent species, N. villosa, N. rajah and N. argentii.
