N. sabre probably is a cross between N. ventricosa & xTrusmadiensis

I am aaiting it to flower as I have many plans in crossing it with even warmer species to keep its characteristics. The pitcher has a definite hard character, like N. lowii. This makes pitchers durable and long lasting. Crossing this to a colorful thorelii, or King Tiger will be pluses in making this a grand hybrid. I wouldn't mind also crossing this with N. Viking (not the klom form, but the tubular form).
While many people look away at the taller shaped form, I look at them as being great parents for making hybrids that will grow well warm, yet keep the shape of their partner's form.
So if you have a red Viking non-klom, I will be thinking of you when this one blooms!

Michael, I do have a red viking non-klom. In fact, the pitcher looks more like a red raff.  Oh, and a red thorellii 'Tiger Adaman' too.  |

Cindy I once read where you seemed disappointed about not owning a klom form Viking. This will make some fine hybrids with sabre once they match up in flowering.
A klom Viking will alter the shape too drastically and never allow the pitchers to form a true Sabre form.
