Odds and Ends

[cindy]

My first N. northiana pitcher! I have never been more proud of any other pitcher than this very ordinary-looking juvenile one. :lol: Well, perhaps this species can be taken off the "difficult-to-grow" list. This plant came in December last year.



This N. rafflesiana 'alata' is growing in pure perlite with tap water. It was a cutting left to root but it produced a pitcher! The colour isn't that great yet but I think this is not too bad for a plant grown in such a manner. It is now producing its second pitcher and I am wondering whether I should pot it up soon.

congrats Cindy.....you must be strutting around like a proud peacock yah ? heheh. the first pitcher is always a memorable occassion.

Nice job! Always a appreciative feeling.

[cindy]

Tarence, not proud peacock...but peahen. LOL

I have a few more other northiana plants pitchering but this is the first open pitcher. It is a good feeling after killing every other northiana I bought earlier on.

N. x hookeriana

This plant produces pitchers with bright red peristome which later turns into reddish black. I also like its flat tendril.

The latest pitcher

N. rafflesiana var. nivea - a fav of mine, no speckling at all on the pitcher body

N. rafflesiana var. squat - the tendril of the previous pitcher had the frilled ribbon but I don't know why this doesn't have

Wow Cindy,

You have outdone yourself again with so many handsome pitchers.

I like the bellii hybrid amongst all the handsome pitchers.

Cheers,
