Wow! So many beautiful plants! I especially love the N Whisper! How long has it taken you to grow such a large collection? I really like the collection of cacti! ;D Thanks for the kind words! I have been growning Cps for 3-4 years and the cacti for maybe a little longer. PM me and lets try to set up a visti.

Wonderful photos, Keith! Thanks for giving us another taste of your collection :-) I also have the tobaica X spectabilis cross (Grex name 'Trubalina', so I understand). Mine is quite new to me (4 moths or so) but has produced one nice pitcher with a beautiful waistline: I am finding I have a special appreciation for Nepenthes that have a clearly defined waistline, like the boschiana hybrids. Endless enjoyment!

Paul, thanks for the kind words. I really love the color on this cross. Yours really does had very pronounced hips. Mine has a much less defined waist....

We have had a couple weeks of downpours and heavy winds. The winds kept catching my taller plants behind the garage and playing dominos with them. Not a game I like to play with my plants¡K. So bamboo and zip-ties became my friend¡K.. First the clean up and haircuts¡K All tied together with bamboo and zip ties¡K Had 40+ MPH winds and no toppled plants ƒº I was also able to get a couple of nice pictures in between rains this weekend¡K By far my favorite this week is N truncata x ephippiata N bellii x ventricosa N ventricosa x inermis N ventricosa x glandulifera N sibuyanensis x copelandii N tobaica N alata variegate from a very generous forum member; Thank You!!! N (x rokko x Dyeriana) x Ventricosa red N x Briggsiana 'Peter D'Amato' N rafflesiana N adrianii N St Longinus

Talk about bad weather! Some of the thunder rattled the whole house. My plants aren't so tall so they are still in one piece, and glad that yours are fine too.
That rafflesiana looks great, it's so red. Great job!

N ventricosa x fusca N densiflora x truncata N Black Dragon N x Briggsiana 'Peter D' Amato' I purchased this one as N sumatrana; however, it doesn’t look like pictures of any other N sumatrana I have come across. What do you think?

Wonderful plants, as always Keith! Question: the N. densiflora X truncata shown here.....is that parentage correct, or is that the BE cross of N. robcantleyi on densiflora? nitrogenseekers.wordpress.com

The plant in question is BE-3329 which BE's catalogue still list as N densiflora x truncata. However, it may very well be a robcantleyi cross; I do seem to remember reading that they had crossed it with densiflora.... I love the color no matter who the parents are.....
