bad news, the new puppy in my house get interested in the pitcher and bite it, all pitcher is either just left a bit or entirely pulled out, had punnished it by keep hitting it until my fingers so pain, so hate it!! why it just do not listen even though i already warned it for more than 9times.....
Got one left, the damaged one had put it in a plastic...hope will be recovering soon...:un sure:

[kentosaurs]

Oh yea forgot something, can anyone ID the flower cos i would really wanna cross it if its female

[NepNut]

Nice neps Kenneth, glad to see they're doing well.

You flower could be a female but can't be 100% sure as there's only so little details available via pic and at the current stage (still early). I think after another ~7 days, should be able to tell for sure what gender it is.

[NepNut]

Kenneth, I got these pollen

3) N. sp Tiger / Giant Tiger "striped peristome" pic
4) N. mirabilis "Merah" pic
5) N. mirabilis "typical"
6) N. mirabilis var globosa x xkuchingensis pic
7) N. veitchii "pink" (MT clone)
8) N. veitchii "green" pic

That's all I can remember for now

Well its not yet opening any time soon cos the petals are all still very tight and the spaces between them are still short..But i think that mirabilis merah would be nice.

Out of curiosity, how do you store the pollen and how long can it be stored.

[NepNut]

I collected the pollen and store then in folded wax paper packet. Then stored them in a air tight plastic container in the fridge. If you keep everything dry, the pollen will at least last for 6-9 months.

Just inform me when your female flower is ready. Thanks.
