Re: candy cane veitchii x lowii and spec x mira

hmmm....if you breed lowii hybrids wt the mindset of only having 'hairs' underneath the lid just to have the reminiscense of n. lowii.....don't you think its a bit of waste? don't you want the hybrid the inherit the wide opening of the pitcher? just my 2 cents thinking....*biggrin2*

Re: candy cane veitchii x lowii and spec x mira

Just to get the under the lid hair?? No way.... *biggrin2*

The "hair" is a good indication that the N. lowii trait is strong in the hybrid. Why N. lowii is so sought after?? It's because ofr it "out of this world" upper pitchers.... :wub: You get the idea ?? :smile:

Like an old saying "The force is strong in this one".... *biggrin2**biggrin2*

Re: candy cane veitchii x lowii and spec x mira

And not to mention, almost all lowii hybrids, when they hit upper pitchers, they produce SPECTACULAR pitchers.....mark my words. Take lowii x truncata. When I first saw the lower pitchers, it looked like truncata with some more colouration and the lid hair. But once I saw the upper pitchers.......WOW *speechless*

Re: candy cane veitchii x lowii and spec x mira

THE COLOUR IS TOO INTENSE!! HAVING SEIZURES!!! just kidding.

Re: candy cane veitchii x lowii and spec x mira

my spectabilis(lowii x ventricosa) has no hairs underneath the lid, and if it did, it would of already shown that characteristic. So, hybridizing with lowii doesnt mean youll have the hairs.........i have a nepenthes hamata x subuyanensis, which doesnt have the cat claw teeth(kinda disapointed)but its hard to tell if it will or wont have prominent fangs; a role of the 32-sided die really xD

Re: candy cane veitchii x lowii and spec x mira

Claw teeth are cool :P
