The accentuated wings on N. Odysseus really brings attention to the pitcher ... beautiful!

Ha! Finally a good looking N. ventrata hybrid. I'd love to hear what phission has to say about this since I remember him saying once that nothing should ever be crossed with a N. ventrata.

Lol, its tolerable. Leilani has a magical hole in the space-time continuum where every hybrid happens to look amazing. I'm also wondering what form of ventrata was used....not the run of the mill TC one I'm assuming (definitely not the DeRoose one).

They just keep getting better and better.

phissionkorps ...... Look it up.

Registered plants / N. Odysseus: www.lhnn.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=plants&action=display&thread=476

then follow those links to .......

LHNN/Photo archive/hybrids/ventrata: www.lhnn.proboards107.com/index.cgi?board=hybridssc&action=display&thread=225

I could then go to the "Nepenthes in situ" board and see how this particular ventrata matches specimens in the field ( .... I'm not sure I've ever seen pictures of ventrata in the wild) or link to the "Hort. hybrids" board and see how it compares to those grown by others.

This is the kind of functionality we want to try and build into this site.

Those really red ones are great. I like the tubby red one the best.
