Guest Kevin Delaplace Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hello I 'found' this nice Nepenthes, a hybrid I suppose. It comes from the local garden centre and was labeled as Nepenthes alata... (But that isn't correct...) It seems to be growing fast and pitchering very well (windowsill north-east). Can anyone ID this one? Thx, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loakesy Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Looks a bit like sanguinea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojahnik Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'd guess that it is N. "Rebecca Soper" (ventricosa x gracillima) which produces such dark pitchers. Boris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Looks like the sanguinea clones they had at Kew recently and im currently experimenting with osmocote on to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojahnik Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 unlikely from a garden centre...? oh ... I thought that it is a typical garden centre plant. Then I'll take this back and go also for a sanguinea or hybrid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) Nice to find a Nepenthes other than ventrata from a garden centre I do wish that they would label Nepenthes correctly though Edited August 4, 2008 by mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other info about it? I have a Rebecca Soper as well and the inside of the pitchers is not 'speckled' for the Rebecca Soper. This one has speckles at the inside of the pitcher. There were only two of these plants and as I had never seen them before at the garden centre, I took it home They were 3 euro Edited August 4, 2008 by Kevin Delaplace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamInLondon Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Isn't this N. sanguinea 'Black Beauty', thought to be a hybrid with ramispina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 The very same, I just couldn't bring myself to write the name down.. Not sure if its registered to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Wowthats a bit of a find for a garden centre?? Bye for now Julian Yes... it makes a nice change from the usual 'ventrata' or 'jungle bells' found in garden centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kevin Delaplace Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Wowthats a bit of a find for a garden centre?? Bye for now Julian I liked it too Hmm what plant do you mean by 'jungle bells'. Never saw it around here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hmm what plant do you mean by 'jungle bells'. Never saw it around here? It's a Nepenthes hybrid. Some links to pictures of it can be found HERE I've seen it in a few garden centres in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Are you sure you mean "Jungle Bells"? More likely to be ventricosa x inermis which does look very similar. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An D Smith Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I still think it could be N. x Rebecca Soper. This hybrid is regularly available from all sorts of garden centres right the way across Europe. It is far more likely to be this than any other hybrid.

There is a garden centre near my parents that often has in Nepenthes hybrids labelled as 'Jungle Bells' but given garden centre track record for wrongly labelling these plants, I wouldn't like to say it definately was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like sayed above, the "inner wall" of the pitchers is not spotted with the 'Rebecca'. This one is spotted at the inside The garden centre I bought it, has lots of small N. x hookeriana (sometimes bigger plants). They also regulary have N. 'Miranda', 'Rebecca Soper' and 'ventrata'. They always have big plants of the last ones, never small plants. I'll just leave it unnamed and see how it grows out Edited August 13, 2008 by Kevin Delaplace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamInLondon Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I still think you're safe with N. sanguinea 'Black Beauty'. see http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?s...c=26459&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
