Neat Pitchers on Seldom Photographed Plants

Nepenthes veitchii x talangensis

I just saw the first couple of pitchers on the Nepenthes veitchii x talangensis that was sent to me by my friend Joe. This plant was getting a little large for his grow area so he passed it on to me. It has really fantastic, brightly colored pitchers. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them as this guy starts producing larger ones.

Nepenthes sibuyanensis x veitchii

This Nepenthes sibuyanensis x veitchii has really great, bright pink coloration. I've been very pleased with its colors since I received it. One thing to note, however, is its slow growth. There are few plants slower growing than its two parents, a trait which it has, unfortunately, inherited.

Nepenthes spathulata x ramispina

One of the darkest pitchers in my collection is this Nepentehs spathulata x ramispina. This is a nice hybrid which blends the best of both parents. The large, dark peristome comes from Nepenthes spathulata. The dark coloration and skinny pitcher profile comes from Nepenthes ramispina. It's a very easy plant and one I highly recommend.

Nepenthes maxima "Tentena"

I have to say that this Nepenthes maxima "Tentena" is one of my favorite pitchers in my highland collection. Its small profile, colorful peristome, and tendency to curl around other plants/objects is very endearing. I'm hopeful that this plant will continue in its vining and produce a number of nice pitchers along its length.

Nepenthes petiolata x veitchii "Bario"

Probably one of the least photographed Nepenthes in the collection is this Nepenthes petiolata x veitchii "Bario". It's a neat plant, with pitchers which show a strong resemblance to the petiolata parent. The pitchers are quite long lasting, which is rather pleasing.
