I was having a bit of a tidy-up this morning and found a few new pitchers that I thought I'd share.......

N. boschiana


Borneo Exotics' N. burkei



An ephippiata that could use a bit more light:


Not a spectacular plant, but not one you see very often either: N. lamii


A seedling of the astonishingly fast-growing form of N. maxima from Tinombala, PNG.


N. rajah


My ramispina is returning after being cut back savagely:


For Bill, N. stenophylla starting to vine wink.gif


One of my favourite species, N. tentaculata, this is the Malesiana Tropicals spotted form:


Two forms of N. tobaica I grow side-by-side:


and finally, a highland truncata


Cheers,
T.

Hi Tony,
nice to see new pics of your plants!
My Sphagnum isn't that virgous and doesn't look so good 2139.gif.
Sockhom
Wonderful pictures Tonyc biggrin2.gif !

What a pleasure to lay the eyes of seldom seen species such as lamii and burkei!

The highland truncata is awesome too, so is the boschiana, the tentaculata and the maxima -what an amazing colour!


Friendly,

François.

great to see the true burkei! Interested in the tobaica, that red pitcher is fab. I once grew tobaica from seed and had a plant for several years but the pitchers never got more than half the size of yours...

Thanks for sharing, Tony.

Lovely plants Tony!
MAy I ask you where you have got your N.lamii from?
And its a ultrahighland right?

Nice looking plants. :)

Nice Neps Tony as always. biggrin2.gif
How old is your N. burkei as it seems a good size already?
Can't wait to see some adult pitchers on my N. stenophylla wink.gif

Lovely N. maxima as well.

cheers

Tony,

Nice to see a lamii, what conditions do you have it in?
tonyc
Hi all,
Tyfone: the N. lamii is a Borneo Exotics clone, and yes it's a ultra-highland species: it will only pitcher for me in winter. It lives in a terra in an unheated room under bright lights (they bump the temperature up during the day) with as high humidity as I can provide .
Bill, I've only been growing the burkei for a year or so, it's a fast grower!

Cheers,
T.

What was its size when you received it Tony?
I remember Rob Cantley was selling small ones until recently, wasn't he (but maybe your burkei does not come from BE)?


Friendly,

François.

Sockholm,
My burkei is one of the BE Halcon seedlings, as ID'd by Dr Ch'ien Lee I believe.
I find it a veryfast grower........
Cheers,

sorry for resurructing this thread...but, can someone, please tell me WHAT kind of sphagnum is that nep growing in?? HOW COME ITS OVERFLOWING?? How do u have to grow sphagnum for it to grow like that...uncontrollabiliy.
tonyc
Hi vraev,
I don't know what species it is, but it's grown from the dried New Zealand Sphagnum sold by 'Just Moss Ltd' of Christchurch, NZ. With clean water and bright light it soon starts to grow again.
Cheers,
T.
vraev
sphagnum cristatum. :) I have the same....but it doesn't grow "LONG" like that.
