More Highlanders!

Nepenthes (lowii x veitchii) x burbidgeae
Tis the season for highland Nepenthes pitchers! The fantastic Nepenthes (lowii x veitchii) x burbidgeae is producing another pitcher. The fantastic red molting on the pitcher and the striped peristome is incredible! This has to be one of my favorite Nepenthes.

Nepenthes (lowii x vetichii) x burbidgeae
The coloration is absolutely incredible!

Nepenthes ...
Forgot to write the tag down for this one, but I'm fairly certain that it's Nepenthes eymae x (izumiae x jacquelineae). As with the other Nepenthes jacquelineae hybrids that I have, this guy is happily producing a number of pitchers now that temperatures have been cool-to-cold for several months.

Nepenthes talangensis x aristolochioides
This Nepenthes has been a curious one. It has become apparent that this plant is not as it was originally labeled (Nepenthes (spectabilis x ventricosa) x aristolochioides). Instead, it seems to be a Nepenthes talangensis x aristolochioides. I do like Nepenthes talangensis hybrids, so I'm not complaining, but it's always a bit annoying to realize that you've identified it incorrectly for some time.

Nepenthes x pyriformis
This Nepenthes x pyriformis has finally pitchered for me! It was sold to me a while ago by Cooks as an unknown Nepenthes inermis hybrid with location data. One of the few natural hybrids Nepenthes inermis forms is with talangensis (N. x pyriformis). I'm glad that I can finally confirm that it is, in fact, that hybrid.
