campanulata comes back

[leilani]

Here is an upper pitcher from N. Polydorus (N. rokko x campanulata).

The seedlings were very campanulata-like in appearance but, as the plant matured it lost the campanulata look as the lower pitcher became more elongated and rokko-like.

The good news is that the uppers seem to bring back some of the campanulata features. ;D

Oh...that's great news! My thorXcampy lost a bit of its campy look after the seedling pitchers, but maybe they'll come back with a vengeance..

That's a nice one! those uppers are really delightful.

Very nice, Sam. But if that's an upper, where's the vine? Has campanulata succeeded in taming the height of rokko?

[leilani]

Well ...... its just beginning to vine so that is more of an intermediate pitcher .... but the morphology is definitely changing for the better.

Still a very handsome plant

Darn. I'll have to keep holding out hope then for the campanulata hybrid with short internodes throughout its life cycle (apart from Menehune, of course).

Good to see the campanulata influence re-emerging, nonetheless.
