The Nile looks great, Sam. Who would have expected such an infundibular pitcher from something with alata as the mother...Did the cross turn out fairly variable? The non-reflexing peristome is a nice feature -- a little wider, and it would be like platychila. I think I had seen the Fredersen lurking in the background of another photo somewhere and immediately wondered if it was a tentaculata hybrid. Nice shape -- and I imagine much more temperature tolerant than the Joker himself. BTW, isn't that Nephthys, not Red Princess? And kudos on the rigidifolia. Hope you get to cross it with something interesting! Or anything lowland  |

Hi mikuláš, Well, its hard to say what to expect with 3 species and an unknown cultivar in the mix. It does come off very similar in appearance to N. platychilla but there are some differences. I'm not sure if there are any of these left around the nursery anymore.  N. Fredersen is a gem! It is not flashy but it is quality and I have found it very easy and rewarding to grow.   Yes, you are correct ..... it is N. Nephthys and not Red Princess (tobaica x campanulata).  I'll do something with the rigidifolia pollen but I don't have anything special in mind unless someone out there has a female in flower at the moment. (anybody?) |

If you want something with dark pitchers, I have a female St. Lidwina with flowers just opening now. St. Hedwig is turning out nicely -- from the photo, it looks like the pitchers show a more veitchii-esque peristome as the plant matures. Any bats in the baramensis yet? |
