A Few Neat Highland Neps

Nepenthes aristolochioides x glabrata

One of the smallest and neatest hybrids I have is Nepenthes aristolochioides x glabrata. The dainty little pitchers on this hybrid are reminiscent of Nepenthes glabrata, but with the strong characteristics of Nepenthes aristolochioides.

Nepenthes aristolochioides

Speaking of Nepenthes aristolochioides, I'm pleased that mine has finally started producing pitchers. It took about a year for this plant to adjust to my conditions, an exceptionally long time for a plant, in my experience. I'm glad that it finally did adjust, however, and I'm hoping for some good growth from it.

Nepenthes burbidgeae x edwardsiana

My Nepenthes burbidgeae x edwardsiana is also producing a few small pitchers. This was one of those crosses where I thought "eh, why not." So far, it has proven to be exceptionally easy, but it's still young, so its temperament could change. For now, I'm very pleased with its small, red pitchers.

Nepenthes alata "Luzon"

Lastly, I have what I believe to be a true Nepenthes alata from Luzon. As far as I can tell, it matches Jebb and Cheek's description of Nepenthes alata (compared to other members of the Nepenthes alata complex). It's a neat plant, and I'm excited to see how quickly it grows compared to some other plants that I own.
