Just three pics

N. northiana - nothing spectacular yet but my largest pitcher so far. Proud of it because it is formed at my balcony with the full fluctuation of the humidity, blasting heat and direct afternoon sunlight.

N. mirabilis var echinostoma - I got it in August 2006 and this is the first decent pitcher it made me. It HATED my balcony conditions but now it is kinda liking it. I have no idea why.

N. globusa (viking) - I like its wide peristome and colour. The contrast between red and the pale green is nice.

WOW Cindy
I love your Viking.

Is it eeasy to grow?
It should be my next nep to get

I think your northiana's colour is being washed away in direct afternoon sunlight Casey!

[plantlover]

Nice Neps. But I agree with Ali. The colour seems a little too white. Or is it that colour naturally?

[Aliamyz]

Another question.Is that mirabilis var echinostoma from Fauzi?

[fauzi]

Hi Ali,

It is not from me but I think it is from BE and if it is from BE it's originated from Brunei. It is still a lower pitcher. As mentioned by Cindy earlier (maybe in another thread) it is quite moody variety. I got 1 large plant that should have produce an upper pitcher now but after 1.5 years, only 2 pitchers were formed and now it is without pitcher for almost 5 months already.

Thanks

Fauzi

Hmm, I am not sure if the northiana is bleached or not 'cos I don't know exactly how its colour should be. Never had a northiana before this one. Should I move it somewhere with less light?

The echinostoma is indeed the BE clone. SUPER inconsistent but I have another plant from other source which is equally grouchy. Not sure if echinostoma is like that the whole time. Seasonal pitchering?

[Cindy]

Oops, forgot about Jeff's question. The plant is a cutting. It took a while to settle down and the pitchers tend to abort themselves halfway. Could be because the weather is a little dry lately and the media tends to dry out more.

Thanks Cindy
Ya truth, now the weather seems a bit too dry.

My Miranda will pitcher only in shady area, sunny area it just dont pitcher.

Soil media will get dry too.

Hmmm... Where to get a N Viking?
