Thanks. I'm thinking that one will reach the 12" mark, though the tendril:pitcher ratio would say 14 or more. I think I let it dry out a few too many times for that to happen though. Here's the first of 4 pitchers to open so far this season. Notice the domed lid. This is by far my favorite Nepenthes to grow .

Let me know when she flowers.
I'd love to cross a Dyeriana with it!

If I had to choose one hybrid to own and grow this is it... Great Job Nathan! Sorry the envy is stuck till I can find one...

Totally awsome!!! This is the one hybrid that I truly love. Its unfortunate that it isn't widely available.

Almost there, 11" so far. It'll probably pop open in a day or two and grow another inch.

Nice plants! Just curious, which form of N. ventricosa is growing next to it? - Rich

Ok, the big one opened up today. I think it's about 13" right now (though the pitchers keep growing after they open). Now I feel like a proud father .

I was in the hospital last night. Saw these pics, and suddenly, a crippling pain took hold of my body. It was excrutiating.
Turns out i had jealously flowing out of every oraphus.

Hehe, sorry if I've caused you any pain . Might want to look away from this batch of pics. I'll take more in a few days after the pitcher has developed and colored up more. EP gave birth to one hell of a king with this hybrid. This pitcher may be a good mouse candidate...
