These colorful pitchers are from offsets of larger vines.

I hope to cross this excellent hybrid with N. truncata or N. maxima to increase the genetic beauty this already has to give.

Crossing may exotic highlanders to species such as N. sp. Viking will also open doors for making highland colors and forms in a warm climate.

No pitchers for all of 2007, but it has put out a couple basal shoots and I've rooted a couple cuttings, one of which is blooming (male). I'm trying to cross it with my ventricosa-red x spectabilis, but the guy is a little slow on the draw. What do you think of this cross?

That plant is incredible! I have a small sideshoot I'm trying to root that I got from another grower. That is one of my favorite EP crosses that I hope to get someday. Really nice stuff.
