Dicon Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Latest and largest N.rafflesiana pitchers. These are 3 clones from BE. Clone 26, elongated pale form. The next leaf is producing an upper. N.bokorensis in the background Clone 99 Giant maroon. The missus fed my testicles to this one when she saw the electricity bill .........but hey, next to Nepenthes, anything else is just Bollox, right Clone 88 Giant red Edited October 1, 2009 by Dicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathias Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Wow congrats! That pitcher of clone 26 seems intermediate. You can already guess the hip which is typical for var. elongata uppers! It is a superb plant! How long is the stem/ what is the diameter of the whole plant? Are you keeping it really warm?

christerb Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Beautiful pitchers!! The missus fed my testicles to this one when she saw the electricity bill Let her feed it the rest of your giblets. I want to see if it is possible to push this plant even further. Your 99 clone is just superb, the best I have seen. Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just superb. The best giant rafflesiana I've seen in the northern hemisphere. (Is that bokorensis in the background of the first picture?) Cheers, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mathias, The plant is not huge, about 70cm high with leaf blades 30cm tendril 35cm and pitcher 22cm to top of peristome. they all grow in the warmest part of my lowland section with min temp a little over 20c. Once over a foot across, they grow very, very quickly when happy. The clone 26 was nearly dead 18 months ago following a heavy fungal attack and was probably only 20cm x 20cm maximum.

Phil Green Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yep, very impressive - although like Amar, I don't think I'll go that far to gain any size on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
