Some Highland/Intermediate Nepenthes

Nepenthes truncata x [(lowii x veitchii)-yellow x campanulata-squat]
It's picture time! One of the plants which is doing absolutely phenomenally is my Nepenthes truncata x [(lowii x veitchii)-yellow x campanulata-squat]. This Exotica Plants hybrid is one of the few with the (lowii x veitchii) parent of theirs that I adore. The truncata part of this hybrid contributes stiff, semi-heart-shaped leaves, which is something I love in truncata hybrids.
Nepenthes robcantleyi x hamata
The "it" plant of 2015, Nepenthes robcantleyi x hamata can't fail to look good. I was lucky to snag one that has a heavy and obvious dose of hamata in it. The teeth are quite prominent, but not quite as prominent as hamata's. They're more like an eddy at this stage, but with very different coloring. Each pitcher is bigger and more fantastic looking, so I can't wait until the next one.
Nepenthes veitchii "Pink"
Of all my veitchiis, this veitchii "Pink" is definitely the rock-star. It has grown so significantly over the past year that I'm honestly quite surprised. Soon, I'll have to search for a tree that I can put it next to so that I, too, can have a veitchii tree.
