Very nice!  I'm totally envious of your Dwarf Peacock, I've been looking for one but can never seem to find. |

Thats quite a collection! I see you have a mix of distinctly lowland and highland species/hybrids. Do you have plans to accommodate their very different climate needs?

nope, they are all growing together in a single terrarium. Actually, none of the plants in there are actually Highland species, ramispina and glabrata are the closest and they're intermediates. The glabrata is relatively new, but the ramispina has been going crazy since I put it in there a few months ago. Apparently, I have a magic grow chamber |

I'm pretty sure the "kampotiana" was really a N. smilesii. Just look at the plant, it is half N. smilesii.
N. 'Dwarf Peacock' on the other hand is half N. kampotiana and looks completely different.

The glabrata is relatively new, but the ramispina has been going crazy since I put it in there a few months ago. N. glabrata is listed as highland in this chart. I acquired two N. glabrata at the beginning of the summer & both suffered through intermediate conditions in my basement over the summer. Neither produced pitchers and one aborted a pitcher it produced during cooler weather. Hopefully they will become more tolerant as they become better established. |

Dave, the plant came from a user on Terraforums named Nepguy and he told me he made the cross himself and he seemed pretty knowledgeable to me so I believe him when he said it is kampotiana x (khasiana x alata) but I guess we'll never really know for sure  RL7836, oh yea kinda forgot about glabrata  |

There are some folks that used to distribute N. smilesii as "N. kampotiana". They did so for years on end...  Like for about 30 years, N. smilesii was known as "N. kampotiana", while Jan Schauler continued to be under some mysterious conviction that these species were all varieties of N. mirabilis! Most of these plants distributed as "N. kampotiana" were/are females too. They are still available, but finally as labeled correctly, like your plant. The N. smilesii you have could easily be the same clone as the mother of "N. kampotiana x (khasiana x alata)" along with the females I have on this website: www.rci.rutgers.edu/~dpevans/Nepenthes/N_smilesii.htm |

Here's an update on the plants in my wardian case. Excuse the somewhat crappy photos my good camera is broken and I'm stuck using my phone. Let's start with the ampullaria N. ampullaria 'Lime Twist'  IMG_3950 by mcmcnair, on Flickr Note that the pitcher in the back has an entirely red peristome and the front pitcher has the "lime" peristome  IMG_3952 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. ampullaria 'Bronze Nabire'  IMG_3956 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_3955 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_3954 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. ampullaria Brunei Red x Harlequin  IMG_3957 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_3959 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. ampullaria 'Harlequin'  IMG_3961 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. ampullaria Brunei Green, looking kinda red...

It retains the fuzzyness and note the spotting on the tendril  IMG_3978 by mcmcnair, on Flickr My big ol' pot o' mirabilis, which includes N. mirabilis Trang, N. mirabilis 'Pink Thai', N. mirabilis var. echinostoma Typical, and N. mirabilis var. echinostoma Purple  IMG_4013 by mcmcnair, on Flickr 'Pink Thai'  IMG_4006 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. mirabilis var. globosa  IMG_4015 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4016 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. khasiana  IMG_4014 by mcmcnair, on Flickr My smallest Nep, I've had it for over 6 months and it has only put out like 2 new leaves...N. distillatoria Pink  IMG_4020 by mcmcnair, on Flickr That's a typical piece of perlite just underneath it for scale...

IMG_4037 by mcmcnair, on Flickr Neither has my N. glabrata, but considering it's growing in lowland conditions I'm not surprised...  IMG_4009 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. maxima (formerly eyemae)  IMG_3998 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_3999 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4001 by mcmcnair, on Flickr Probably my favorite Nepenthes I've got right now...

N. x'Dwarf Peacock', I chopped the mother plant into a bunch of cuttings and this was the growth point cutting  IMG_3988 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_3986 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. kampotiana x (khasiana x alata)  IMG_4018 by mcmcnair, on Flickr I really love the stem and midvein coloration on this hybrid  IMG_4019 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4017 by mcmcnair, on Flickr Unknown hybrid that I traded somebody in Hawaii for, i don't remember who...  IMG_3968 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N.

Now for the nepenthes that aren't in my wardian case. My monster N. truncata  IMG_4049 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. “Song of Melancholy”  IMG_4044 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. ‘Tiger’ x unknown (possibly mirabilis)  IMG_4045 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4046 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. mirabilis x ‘Tiger’  IMG_4047 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. alata Boschiana Mimic  IMG_4052 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4053 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. “Fredder” (splendiana x tentaculata)  IMG_4050 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4051 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. xsplendiana x (xtiveyi x veitchii)  IMG_4054 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. eyemae x (jacquelineae x izumiae)  IMG_4055 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  IMG_4057 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. veitchii (from Luca)  IMG_4061 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. ‘viking’ x truncata  IMG_4062 by mcmcnair, on Flickr The ‘Tiger’ hybrids with “Song of Melancholy” in between  IMG_4048 by mcmcnair, on Flickr The lower section of my window. I’m going to make a rack to hang all of these from soon  IMG_4060 by mcmcnair, on Flickr The whole thing at night  IMG_4063 by mcmcnair, on Flickr and during the day  |

Mason my friend, this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How hot are you keeping the air in the house, or are you doing anything special or nothing at all to the neps outside of the wardian case?
I am loving your pics and can't wait to see the real thing in december!

A small update on some of the newer pitchers in my collection. Just so you all know, all of my nepenthes are grown in true lowland parameters with 80% humidity or higher constantly with temperatures around 88-93F during the day and 70-75F at night. So keep that in mind when noticing that I have burbidgeae, fusca, glabrata, alba and ramispina growing in lowland conditions and doing fine if not thriving. N. viking x truncata seedgrown, originally from Heli who got it from Exo Just after opening  N. viking x truncata just opened by mcmcnair, on Flickr Different pitcher, but about two weeks after opening  N. viking x truncata 4 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  N. viking x truncata 2 by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. gracilis 'Cinnamon Bun'  N. 'Cinnamon Bun' by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. 'Princess Bubblegum'  N. 'Princess Bubblegum' leaf characteristics by mcmcnair, on Flickr  N. 'Princess Bubblegum' stem by mcmcnair, on Flickr  N. 'Princess Bubblegum' by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. spathulata x campanulata "Carmen", just potted it up yesterday but i've had it for nearly 5 months and its been living in the paper towel i received it in  N. "Carmen" by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. baramensis/rafflesiana var. elongata  N. baramensis by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. fusca 'Lich' first pitcher produced in my care, opened a couple days ago  N. fusca 'Lich' by mcmcnair, on Flickr same plant but the pitcher it came with to show a fully mature pitcher  N. fusca 'Lich' mature pitcher by mcmcnair, on Flickr These next two are for Exo, N. khasiana  N. khasiana pitcher by mcmcnair, on Flickr  N. khasiana by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. rafflesiana Agristarts Clone, first pitcher in my care  N. rafflesiana Agristarts Clone by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. thai  N. thai Just before opening by mcmcnair, on Flickr N. truncata HLxLL seedgrown  N. truncata by mcmcnair, on Flickr  N. truncata peristome by mcmcnair, on Flickr and making its debut appearance! My oldest nepenthes N. ramispina! I've had it for about 2.5 years now  N. ramispina 2 by mcmcnair, on Flickr  N. ramispina by mcmcnair, on Flickr That's it for now! Hope you all enjoyed! |
