A free plant Bruce Bednar (of Lee's Botanical Gardens) had put in with an order I made from him last summer, Nepenthes "Winged Grabilis" (N. mirabilis winged x N. gracilis nigropurpurea.) Was a little cutting that is starting to do very well now that it's had a few months to settle in.
Nepenthes trichocarpa (ampullaria x gracilis) x "viking." I like the yellow and red color combo on this one. It will unfortunately always have small pitchers due to the species that make up this hybrid, but it does keep it's pitchers a long time which is always a plus.
Nepenthes truncata, lowland variety. Starting to gain some size and more color in the pitchers.
Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa x (ampullaria x rafflesiana)
Nepenthes mirabilis winged x [maxima x (maxima x mixta)]. This one's into one of my favorites. Besides the winged tendril, it's very pretty in it's simplicity.
N. bicalcarata Orange Blush. Still one of my favorite species.
Nepenthes veitchii "pink," newly opened pitcher
Nepenthes trichocarpa "green" x viking. Another compact hybrid that I just really like how pink it always is.
Nepenthes rafflesiana BE clone #99, older pitcher looking a little rough from living outside.
Nepenthes ampullaria x ??? It's grows quickly and makes tons of basals or such a young plant. So whatever it is, this should be a really nice looking plant when it gets larger.
N. albomarginata, Red, Gunung Jerai. A slow grower for me, most likely keeping a bit warm for it's tastes but it's growing larger finally.
Now that the outdoor temps have started to dip into the 40's at night, I set up the indoor grow tent and moved everybody that was outdoors either into the Florida room, or into the tent. It was a good 2 day project to move all the plants, clean up, trim, or repot, and reorganize everything. However, I still have room for more plants though, even with everything moved inside, so that was nice to find out.
Very nice plants Melody! :-) So many of my favs there!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, nice plants indeed! How do you like that veitchii "pink"? I've been looking at maybe ordering one, but can't tell if they still get the nice striped peristome like some of the other varieties do.
ReplyDeleteI love the veitchii "pink" but don't have much choice as there are very few varieties of lowland growing veitchii in cultivation. This one is has the most striped peristome of all the lowland veitchii's I've seen, but it is not as striped as some of the highland varieties such as the "candy stripe" nicknamed cultivar.
