Great photos, Christian. Thanks for sharing! And the plants are just amazing. Would love to walk through the nursery, myself.

Christian, your superb photography + Sam's plants = something fantastic. I love how crisp the first veitchii photo is. I also really enjoyed the whole plant & group shots -- pitcher photos are always nice, but these give a greater sense of the place.
Great work, and do share again the next time you go!

Speaking of Veitchii, I forgot to ask Sam, but is this a Veitchii or a Veitchii x Tiveyi, or similar hybrid? I'm no good with telling them apart.  I've never been that much of a fan of the pink and striped peristome versions, but this one I just love! |

Although only Sam could say for certain, I think the veitchii x Tiveyi has a pink peristome: lhnn.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hybridssc&action=display&thread=202I'd wager that this is pure veitchii. I'm curious about the plant with the upper pitcher circled below:  (Christian, please forgive my shameless re-use of your photo; I don't know of a clearer way to identify which plant I'm talking about. I can remove it if you like.) Is this perhaps the upper of the recent POM Kohala? Whatever it is, the shape & coloration caught my eye -- it's like an improved maxima upper. |

Sam, which one is this? It looks spectacular! I think it might be sibuyanensis x (spectabilis x beccariana) I'm fairly certain he said this one was:  both were just massive, extraordinary plants |

Nice job Christian but I can't help but be self-conscious when people see things messy ( ... a dead cat ;D). I would answer all your questions but mikuláš already has.  |
