Some Awesome Highlanders and Intermediates

Nepenthes (lowii x veitchii) x (boschiana x campanulata)
This plant is awesome! That's really the only way to describe it. Although it doesn't look it from this photo, the pitcher is quite a handful. I really love how long lasting and tough the pitchers are on this plant. It is definitely a favorite.

Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor
Whoo! I'm finally getting some mature pitchers on my Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor. This plant was just repotted since it had outgrown its other pot. And by outgrown, I do mean outgrown. The pot was distorted from this Heli's growth and I had to cut it away from the plant.

Nepenthes truncata x [(lowii x veitchii)-yellow x campanulata-squat] 
One of my more recent Exotica Plant purchases is this Nepenthes truncata x [(lowii x veitchii)-yellow x campanulata-squat] . Already, it is showing some fantastic coloration, especially on the peristome. I am very hopeful that more mature pitchers will be even more fantastic.

Nepenthes kongkandana x veitchii
Lastly, I wanted to share my Nepenthes kongkandana x veitchii. This plant recovered nicely from some frost bite that it received in shipping. As an added bonus, I believe these are the first pictures of this crosses pitchers online. (Or, at least, I can't find others using my Google skills).

Nepenthes kongkandana x veitchii
I think this will be a very interesting cross when it matures. Already, it is demonstrating a fast growth pattern, much like Nepenthes kongkandana.
