Wah, so lovely!!!
The distillatoria's colour is something different. The last picture too. What nep is that (last pic)?

[David]

Ed,

Would you know what hybrid is that on the alst picture? I like the dark brown colour and maroon peristome. Quite an attractive plant.

I wonder sometimes how many species and plants you have. Every now and then you seuprise us with more beautiful and rare forms. Good growing...

Ed..u get many nice Neps..so wonderful!

I more like x hookeriana, they look so cute and round..especially the 1st photo, the colour is quite sharp...

[wijaya]

to all: thanks for the compliments.

@TS: the distillatoria is actually the 'purple color' form, I just love the squat and tubular form of it, this one is just going upper. TS got the 'last picture hybrid' from Singapore - u know who.

@David: only a few neps in my collections, still have long way to go compare with some senior growers. Glad u guys like the pictures posted.

Hybrids ID: spectabilis x beccariana (?); alata Giant x spectabilis; merriliana x alata and last one is mirabilis x (ventricosa x truncata)

hmm, I can't seem to see the resemblance of any of the parent plant on this hybrid. Usually, some shape or colour of the parent plant can be seen. Interesting.

Was the mirabilis a dark maroon clone?

On second thought, the peristome and pitcher does look like mirabilis's. Looks like mirabilis genes is the dominant genes here
