Not only in Kansas ... also here in germany It grows very good but put out only two pitcher in far over a year and this pitchers were small. This hybrid is for me more picky than both species which are involved.

Too bad, it can only grow under controlled cool environment.

Dude, wait till you see the latest pitcher, the peristome is wider and has more volume to it than the one in the pic. I'll post the pic once I can get my hands on the camera.

I am not sure if the izumae x TM can grow lowland, though I would say there is a chance if you growing area is cool in the evenings. Mine is just growing at my bedroom window, so the heat of the day is no problem. When I sleep though, it gets air-con of around 26C, but can stand up to the air-con level humidity with no protection. Given that other highland hybrids like EP's Aristo x Veitchii H/L can grow lowland, this one may be able to.



As for the hybrid, its got 4 different Neps in it and yup, its got maxima in it!
There's no fusca though. :P

Wow, and there I thought it was just cranky because it didn't like the Singapore heat or something. I guess you guys can imagine how happy I was to see that mine had finally put out a decent sized pitcher, especially after so long. I wonder if perhaps it takes a crazy long time to settle down...mine has produced a basal and that basal pitchers quite regularly, though the pitchers produced are tiny. I sure hope I see more of these larger pitchers, the one in my pic is probably around 1/2 the size of the one in Daren's.

Okay, here goes...

The plant is a [? x maxima] x [(maxima x ?) x ?] if my memory serves.

2 of the parents are highlanders/intermediates. Some traits from these parents are present, thankfully no crankiness.

1 is a lowlander which recently had a name change issue(should be very easy to guess). Since this one is part of the maxima cross, I personally don't see anything from this parent at all.

There is no fusca or truncata.

Happy guessing!

A larger izumae x TM pitcher and hopefully more medusa pitchers to come soon!

[Thorelii (indochina species) x maxima] x [(maxima x stenphylla) lowii ]

LOL....

[Aliamyz]

It is maxima x stenoplylla x lowii x rokko x veitchii...rite??I'm very lazy to put all the brackets so....
