Plants from Black Jungle's Closing

Nepenthes mirabilis x khasiana

Among the plants I bought from Black Jungle before it closed was this Nepenthes mirabilis x khasiana. It's a neat plant with rather plain, yellow pitchers that I'm planning on testing in intermediate conditions.

This is a fantastic, large plant, which I was very happy to find among Black Jungle's collection. (It was mislabeled as Nepenthes mirabilis var. smilesii, which is now known as Nepenthes smilesii, but I discovered the hybrid lineage after a few hours of investigation online).

As far as I know, the only other photo of this cross online is from Jeremiah Harris' collection, so I'm pleased to be able to share some more here.

I also picked up a Nepenthes spathulata x ventricosa. This was a cross which I had previously, but which died suddenly from a fungal infection soon after moving to my new place this summer. It's a neat cross, and one I was happy to reobtain.

One last shot of the pitcher up-close. In time, these pitchers will be nearly a foot tall! I can't wait!
