nadja77 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Success!! After a number of years of growing neps I finally got my first lot of seeds! Strangely, no one in my house seems to be very excited about that, so I decided to share the news here. If anyone is interested in swapping some of these for other seeds let me know! The cross is N. ventricosa x N. veitchii (Sungai samba) harvested on the 04-02-2012 Sorry for the bad quality, my phone takes horrid pictures.

nadja77 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Congrats! Sound like a very nice cross! Yes, I think it will be an interesting cross! Pity it takes so long before the plants are mature enough to see the characteristics! How about sending some to SA haha, not much here yet our seeds are still brewing. As I said, I'll send some to Benjamin, I'm sure he'll sort you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadja77 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Here is a Picture of the EP cross. Thanks Peter! Wow what a stunning plant! this yours? What form of N. veitchii was used in the cross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Hewitt Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks Peter! Wow what a stunning plant! this yours? What form of N. veitchii was used in the cross? I think it was the "Golden Peristome" form, the Peristome on this plant starts out light red/pink but later starts to go golden. When the Pitcher is a little older the Peristome looks just like Veitchii Golden Peristome. Your Ventricosa looks like the red form so it will make a good parent for this cross I think. It should be a little more colourful. Yes, it is mine :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some plants of my cross will have similar characteristics. And it looks like it inherited N. ventricosa vigor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very vigorous unlike my N.Veitchii's which seem a little slow growing, except the Veitchii (K) which seems to grow a little faster than the others. I have about 5 different Veitchii clones.

kevnep Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think it was a good descision to get you that vent x veitchii, not only beautiful but vigorous and not to mention cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
