Major pic dump! I've moved to Flickr, and discovered more photo room, so while updates may be more sparse, they will probably be loaded....
Still holding out hope that these guys do turn out to be mirabilis echinostoma. But with the pitchers reaching almost 2" tall, the peristome is very wide, but not yet that wide....
N. gracilis "red" from Bukit Barisan is turning red in the brighter light
glabrata x maxima definitely needs a repot (mostly so its younger sibling can catch up too), and the pitchers are still gaining color
My one N. lingulata seedling. Not sure why, but the last few leaves have refused to gain any real size...
N. vogelii. This one slowed down a bit over summer, but is perking up again as temps cool down. Hopefully I'll see some real size jumps soon
N. diatas Bandahara has been a very steady grower, however
And another update on the rafflesiana "dark brown parent" seedlings. I love the shape of raffs, so I find these little guys adorable
This one has some darker speckles in with the red mottling, so I'm hoping for a tricolor
The lightest one
A skinny one
The dark one. I cannot wait to see adult pitchers on this plant
One of the lighter colored round ones
The mottling on this one is a very nice shade of scarlet
Truly, one of the fatties
Even though the ones I keep are a very small portion of all the plants there are (a total 12 currently our of several hundred), it gives a pretty good idea of just how variable the rest might be once they mature too
Moving on, pitchers from each of my three seedling N. gracilis nigropurpurea
N. x splendiana x tiveyi "red peristome" opened an even bigger pitcher, and this one is showing signs of some lovely light red mottling. It should be gorgeous at adulthood
Group shot of pitchers on (inermis x singalana) x mira. The biggest of the 3 vines has a noticeable swelling at the tip, so fingers crossed that it might be flowering, and as this was an SG plant, maybe female!
I love the shape...
BE sp. 1 is making some nice pitchers
khasiana is also very happy. The pitchers on this on have a beautiful red blush on the inside, and it's growing fast
the sumatrana "Giant" is still chugging along too
Seedling gracilis "giant red"
The N. beccariana "red" are making me wonder. Though young, and the shape may well change, these pitchers have a shape reminiscent from behind of N. eustachya, and the striped lip to boot. But, they are somewhat closely related, so it may only be ontogenetic superficial.
N. burkei decided to make a funky pitcher before getting back on track. It's kind of cute....
N. 'Rokko' x (thorelii x aristolochioides) gaining size and some nice color
bellii x robcantleyi is also getting big, and pitchers are showing signs of mottling
N. merrilliana x campanulata recently repotted
N. Viking #19 x (maxima x trusmadiensis) is always a stunner
Pitchers are simplistic, but N. 'Lang' has a nice look to it anyway
neoguineensis Cyclops Mtn. gaining size
ventricosa x gymnamphora has slowed down for unknown reasons, but still gives me surprises, like this slightly mutant but attractive pitcher
x ventrata
'Rokko' Exotica group shot
My "Viking" has become quite endearing. Pitchers are beautifully blushed in red, and getting fat
New pitcher on rc 'Queen of Hearts' x maxima
