She was a small, delicate and graceful girl from the lowlands while he was a hulking monster of a man from a tribe of giants. Theirs was a unlikely romance.From their union would spring the "Dark Giant".(Mother and child with Father looking on from behind.) The "Dark Giant" would grow to tower over all the other gracilli in the land and, in time, he would become their King.

It's a Nepenthes fairy-tale...
Still can't get over how gracilis-like the Dark Giant is. Or how large. It's nice that the uppers turned out so well-colored.
Any luck finding another clone in the nursery, or is this the sole survivor?

Hesus Christo! That is HUGE! Like my....  . The story really brings this together. It is so interesting how the genes transgress and show through hybrids, I would never have guessed it would make a super gracilis. The truncata is barely there and all there at the same. |

N. gracilis, along with N. albomarginata dominate their F1 hybrids. I believe this has something to do with these two species having more active controlling type statements in their genes.

Female neps tend to dominate the hybrid characteristics, or so im told, but here's certainly more evidence of this.
