Hello, I 'd like to show everybody some pictures of a variety I bought from a local grower. The plant is two years old and very vigorous.   |

Sorry to tell you this, but I believe you have the famous N. x Miranda, a N. (xmixta) x maxima cross. It is still an impressive plant, however.

I definitely agree with hcarlton here, a very nice plant none the less.

Next time I went to its nursery, I 'll take photos of the parents...
Impossible for them to maintain higland or intermediate species here.

Miranda can be successfully grown in lowland conditions, that is definitely miranda. I dont see any rafflesiana alata or ampullaria in it

Hcarlton why ard you sorry to tell him that? I think he should be proud that he owns the great miranda, it might not be the rarest or oddest hybrid out there but it is totally reliable when things get rough. I will personally have an entire army of mirandas by the end of june because i have 17-19 cuttings of miranda that i am confident have succesfully rooted. Not suprising since most were adult growth points from one plant!

I'm not saying that I'm sorry he has the plant, just sorry that I'm the one saying he's wrong on the identity, whether his fault or, most likely, the nursery's fault for not properly marking the plants. I am a personal fan of Miranda, and mine is finally starting to pitcher again after a cool, dry winter. And good luck on your cuttings!
