First off, congrats on flowering your veitchii (k) so fast!
I just noticed today that my female truncata x (spectabilis x northiana) is in spike.

Flower on 1/28/12


Lower pitcher


Upper pitcher


So if you have any pollen left over, let me know if you want to give it a shot. As you can see from the flower pic, there is time.

I also have a male sibuyanensis x maxima flowering but the flower is just emerging from the leaf so i dont know if itll be on time

[william9in]

Sorry, I gave all the pollen to Dave. It was my first time collecting pollen and I did not do it well.

[Dave Evans]

I'm on the look out for it. Will attempt to pollinate ASAP.

I think N. veitchii will make for a very nice cross with 'Splendid Diana'. Hope the pollen comes through okay, the female flower is very pungent right now!


Michell, I can send you some N. maxima pollen. This is one of those kinds which have solid red, wide peristomes on the lowers...

[Dave Evans]

I received the pollen, but it has been kept too wet.

Pollen has to be dry, or it will rot. I'm drying out the material I received, but most of it has turned a grayish color. Only one flower out of like three hundred had bright yellow pollen It's already been applied to several flowers.

I'll see what comes back from drying it... I noticed a bunch of yellow stains on the sepals, so some of the pollen might not be dead yet

[kevnep]

Any maxima pollen for my spathulata? I also have a female ventricosa x (spathulata x lowii) (a) starting to flower, my friend also has a lady pauline and densiflora x boschiana

[Dave Evans]

Sounds nice, please send me a PM with your details.

'Lady Pauline' is a male plant. So he could do his own rather nice cross...
