Re: Is This Ventricosa?
Yeah, this is one of the plants that goes by the name "N. ventricosa - red form" and is probably from the southern parts of Luzon. They will produce pitchers from 4 to 6 inches tall, and should flower easily in the spring. At first, we thought that they were various forms of N. ventrata, but several populations of these have been discovered, and those populations seem fairly consistent and stable. Perhaps it may have hybrid origins, but it also may be just some genetic drift thing, or a combination.
