N. ramispina x truncata update

[rainforest]

Here is a pitcher from my current N. ramispina x truncata plant. These are grown in full sunlight and grown rather hard.


These are big pitchers for a plant that has hanging pitchers. Most large pitchers are usually produced on the ground.

Beautiful color variations going on there ... is the lid curl a feature of the plant?

Actually, the curl may have been from it growing against an overhanging leaf where the top of the pitcher may have rested on.

I am just amazed at how much this pitcher resembles the ramispina, even with its spur, on a pitcher the size of a truncata!

I bet this will make some interesting hybrids. This hybrid grows well for me warm and in full bright sunlight. I can see this crossed with N. rafflesiana, N. thorelii, N. fusca or even N. sibuyanensis.

Let's compare the sizes between N. ramispina x truncata
and N. alata Giant x truncata.
