The use of N. maxima in breeding has allowed many highland species (when crossed with maxima) to adapt very well to warm conditions.  It will be beneficial to cross species such as hamata, jacquelineae, klossii, and many more to maximas to get hybrids which will grow well in warmer conditions. M |

Haaa, haaa, the peristome is rather odd shaped and cute. In the first picture the peristome is pointed upwards. Is it becasue it is a new pitcher just opening?

Not all of this hybrid have recurving peristomes. The upper photo is one which stands more like a funnel. I believe characteristics such as this will be dominant in what it is crossed to. I would definitely like to cross this with a thorelii or truncata.
