They appear very healthy. This is the right direction in creating hybrids especially for growers who live warmer. Having the seed mature on a warm grower and germinate and develop warm will ensure that their offspring will grow and adapt better in such a lowland condition.
Although hybrids of two highland species often can grow and adapt to conditions in a warmer condition, the combining of a warm and colder species make better growing plants as warm growers. Please keep us abreast with its development. This hybrid will be an excellent building block for many future generations of rajah-like hybrids. Already I am intrigued with how their tendril attachment will be and whether a tuber will develop, will pitchers be like a giant squat Viking form, etc.

wow! very interesting. Do you have a mature flowering rajah?? it must have been huge.

Good work. Interesting that they are slow growing (so far) as viking hybrids are one of the fastest growers and hybrids tend to take after the female parent as far as growth characteristics.

Is the next step (viking x rajah) x rajah? Or am I getting ahead of myself.
