Anyone seen this??
 
This is a nep hybrid from Thailand, possibly a tiger x viking. Can someone please help to ID this?? Thanks.

It's definitely got a lot of Viking in it! I have so many hybrid crosses with Viking in them (i.e, viking x coccinea, v. x amp, v. x mirabilis, v. x raff, etc.) and every batch has huge variation in it. For every 100 plants there seem to be 3-4 major groups of individuals that look similar and completely different from the other groups. The Tiger x Viking I am growing show much more 'tiger' influence and almost no viking. This seems the opposite, perhaps a Viking mother? That's the fun of growing from seed! Your's has a spectacularly good shape (This is the most desired shape for the Thai collectors), huge flaring wings, deep color, a contrasting peristome...it could be pure Viking or could be any one of half a dozen crosses, but it's just great whatever it is! The pitcher development looks makes me think that this is on a fairly mature plant? How big is it?
Congratulations on a great new plant cpnut!

Yep Hongrui, if there's anything other than viking in there, my guess would be raff as well.

It could be a viking x xkuchingensis but for sure all of us agreed that part of the lineage is from viking. I got a viking x raff also but you can definately tell the raff in it once you see the pitcher...

viking x rafflesiana

Shawn,
Regarding your question about the age of this plant, I won't say it's mature yet but maybe close to it. Have to take the leaves span measurement later...

Well, I just had another thought on a possibility. Although there's no sign of teeth, I've seen a few Viking x bicalcarata that have a similar look (also without teeth)! I think it is the lime-green peristome that makes me think of Bical.

Hi Shawn,

That pitcher is N. viking x kuchingensis. I am quite confident.

Cheers,
Pop
