Hi all : After seeing aristolochioides hybrids around, regardless of which genes the plant inherit, aristolochioides shape prevails on most crosses. An interesting one is the one with maxima. N. maxima is a very dominant species when it comes to traits passed on to any hybrid, but when it's crossed with aristolochioides, the battle for the dominant traits starts  colour and overall appearance from mommy maxima, but look at the shape of the peristome very aristolochioidish!  The hood of aristolochioides pitcher is visible from a lateral view Gus |

Nice specimen. I believe this is now available from EP as a rc. Gus, your plant is superb! Is that a spike from that plant I see?

Hi Michael: that's a spike of spectabilis X veitchii. I know some species only growers don't think much of it, but i like it and that's what counts.

Gus,
Is that spectabilis x veitchii spike female?
I've flowered about twenty plants all were males. I have yet to meet a female of this hybrid. If that is female, I would like to send you some pollen.

If you can show a close up of the flower buds I can tell you what it is.
