Ed,
I still can't get over that red mirabilis. If this is a selected regional form, I would try to obtain more of that type to be able to make seed of that type to breed true. This is a fantastic variety. It will also be useful in breeding, adding a bit more to the outcome of crosses from this variety.
Your red from Papua is also intriguing. Can you tell us anything about it?
Michael

I love all these mirabilis forms. True, the Sumatra one is a winner.

Michael, the Sumatra one I think is an extreme variant, as I saw from the mirabilis picture posts in forum, nothing like mine so far as on the deep red coloration and green/red peristome colors with striped on the pitcher, I do hope this one will bloom soon, the plant has reached 2 meter tall now. The lower pitcher in the picture is from basals of the lower stem near the media. As on the Papua variant, not much different than other mirabilis, they are fast grower as well, got this one of size around 15 cm tall (a basal cutting) from a friend August last year, and I think this one will make upper pretty soon. @phission & sockhom, yes this one is my favorite a real winner. This is the picture of the tallest tips of the Sumatran's mirabilis:  Ed
