N. ovata

[agustinfranco]

Hi all:

I just want to show you some N. ovatas.




Beautiful! aren't they?

Also, there is an unfounded theory that this species need to bury the tendril to produce a pitcher. Pitchers 1 and 3 were developed outside the pot. Pitcher number 2 did develop inside the pot.
So much for that theory.
The only species which I have found a pain in the &^%$# to develop pitchers outside the pot is N. sibuyanensis.

Quite a bit of variation shown in those pitchers.

You could have some real beauties as those grow out more.

Those are sweet! I rank N. ovata way up there on my list of favorite species. I lost a big one a couple of years ago but have several, about the size of yours, coming up from seed. They can be spectacular as the get bigger.
