  1. Might as well chip in... the first one looks just like fusca x robcantleyi to me, it retains the robcantleyi leaf shape and I'm not sure spath x rc has that dark green colour. The second one definitely looks like it has some hamata in it ( flimsy-pitched, lid hairs, defined hip, and a thin, dark, ridged peristome), maybe sibuyanensis x hamata?
  2. Hi all, I've just got back from a 2-week holiday to find my N. 'Rebecca Soper' has sneakily thrown out a flower spike, and it looks ready to start opening soon. This is my first experience with flowering Nepenthes, and seeing as it has squat, spherical flowers and I can only find info on it being a male cultivar, I guess I'm just after a couple of tips on pollen collection (i.e. when is the best time to collect, and how do I store it safely?). While I'm at it, when is the best time to apply pollen to female flowers, and how long are they fertile? I also noticed a female ventricosa x (lowii x veitchii) cutting with a small flower spike forming, so I'm hoping to try out some easy but unattractive home-made seed from these 2 parents. On a related note, is anyone after any pollen of 'Rebecca Soper'? I can't imagine it being particularly in demand and I don't have a clue how fertile it'll be, but I might as well offer!
  3. Might as well chime in for once, since I've got a maxima x TM very similar to yours but with slightly chunkier peristomes. I got it from carnivoria.eu nearly a year ago, and have just assumed it was from BE. I can only find information on this hybrid being made by BE and EP (using a weird huge-mouthed dark maxima, I think), and as it was pretty small I'd say mine's a BE clone, judging by the physical similarities I would guess the same for yours too. A lot of assuming, I know, but I reckon plants would be a lot bigger and better advertised if they'd come all the way from EP.
