dvg .... I have tasted it (sweet) but I can't say I'm proud of the fact. mikuláš .... "Yes", Loihi is still around but only the one specimen. I really like the plant. The jac got to about 5-6' (pretty green uppers) but began to look too lanky so I cut it up. The pitcher pictured is from the new basal growth.

mikuláš .... In the third picture I was trying, rather unsuccessfully, to capture the color gradient along the peristome as this one ages. Here is a picture of the younger pitcher on this plant.

"Lordy, that is some operation, Sam. Do you find you have trouble tracking where everything is, or is it all well organized?" ;D ;D ;D You know the cat's name .... Walter Yeah, the new "nursery truck" is really growing on me but there are not many opportunities for 6th gear. It holds more plants than you might think. ;D

Since, this post was recently referenced on another forum I took the time to read it again and it seems I promised to update those (no longer) concerned as this plant continued to mature. This particular N. burbidgeae has had some ups and downs since 2009 but it continues to remain viable and makes upper pitchers with regularity. Unfortunately, in spite of my efforts, it refuses to make a basal. The pitchers it produces today are exactly as they were in 2009. The only, possibly significant, new information comes from having bred this plant. Back in 2009 Geoff said "if you breed with it you will see some variation in the progeny if it's a hybrid." This N. burbidgeae is the female parent in several greges produced here at the nursery. Only one of these hybrids: N. Porcelana [ N. burbidgeae x veitchii] NN4840878 is mature enough to provide any evidence but, for what its worth, it is a very consistent grex.

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.

It is St. Sabina.
All the saint names were derived from an strange book I picked up in college called "A Calendar of Saints for Unbelievers" by Glenway Wescott. The book provides a saint for every day of the year. Not very scholarly but kinda fun if you like descriptions of horrible death. ;D
Wescott's story differs from the Wikipedia version.
"After her conversion this maiden, Greek by birth, was lonely in Rome; all the members of her family were heathens. her brother was a Christian, but her had gone to France. She set out after him. As she drew near Troyes, where her lived, she learned that he had just been beheaded. She did not know what to do or where to go then; so she prayed to join him in heaven, and was allowed to do so without any trouble or delay."
