I still have some pollen left from a red ventricosa, as well as I should be having a N. x mixta flowering soon, and it looks to be male. If you're interested in either, let me know.

I've heard these get really dark. Can't wait to see as it gets bigger!

The Dormouse, PDM x maxima, Great Events and Pompei are really eye catching! Wonderful plants, I hope to have a few of these one day!

Is this the same plant?

The dying pitchers, depending on their age and how long the plant has been in your collection, are probably normal. the browning on the leaves, if not from burning from a heat source, is definitely some sort of fungus. Most well-aged leaves may get this, but a sulfur-based fungicide should help if it is dangerous.

My hamata x platy isn't doing too well, but has at least 2 growth points, so hopefully something will pukll through. That is too good to give up on.

Nice plant, and good size pitchers! Are the thinner, hipped pitchers normal for this plant at young ages?

They're bopth amps, just two color forms. Ampullaria is an extrmely varible species, with possibly dozens of color forms from one seed batch possible, and there are plants ranging from black to red to pure green. You just got lucky with both a green and a tricolor appearing in you seeds. One of the best known is 'Harlequin', and this is mine at about a year ago:

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!

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.

Sounds like a good cross. However, from what I've heard, don't expect too many seeds to germainate (though with very fres seeds it shouldn't be that bad) as these are complex crosses. Whatever comes up should be stunning though.

I'll probably be wrong on most, but I'll take a stab at it: 1. 'Song of Melancholy' 2. albomarginata x veitchii 3. maxima x veitchii? 4. bicalcarata x globosa or bical x rafflesiana 5 and 6 I have no idea. ;D

If you are really willing to do that, then that would be great! I'll send you a PM with my address. Thanks!

Unfortunately as I said above, I have no money, so getting that plant will have to wait a while. I would love to have one though
