Hi All. kevnep:If they flower again we will. There are many others though like these two. N.(vent x sib) x [(spec x talang) x truncata] and N.(vent x sib) x TM   Cheers, Geoff |

Hi geoff
Just for interests sake, if i should have a lowii x ventricosa and you should have a lowii in flower should i send you some pollen so that you can make lowii x (lowii x ventricosa). Would this also apply in the case of inermis and miranda. Thanx

Geoff,
Do you have any photos of the young plants of your new N. izumiae X truncata "red" cross that you can show us? (assuming they are of an age to show any cross-specific characteristics) Care to describe how you think these will appear at maturity? Thank you!
Paul

Hi All, kevnep: The only problem with hamata hybrids is that they make the pitchers soft and very fragile if not used with a tough partner like lowii. Thanks for the offer but we have plenty of pollen. Paul and mato77429: Our plants are still just seedlings the size we have sold so are not much different. They are all pretty black at a small size. We anticipate that they will be very similar to our previous cross with a green truncata, N.Black Dragon, maybe darker, a pic is below.  Cheers, Geoff |

Incredible plants sir!
Just wanted to leave my thanks to you for doing this thread! Very helpful cultivation advice hidden away in here!
Perchance, do you have N. rajah growing? Are they big enough for photos perchance? I would love to see them.

Hi All.
Sorry peatmoss. We don't have any large N.rajah at present as it was difficult to get decent supplies in Australia. Therefore I cannot advise as it has not been one of our strong points. We now have a good source so we will see what develops in the future.
However pm noaf he is a great grower of this species and I am sure he would not mind.
Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Your plants are magnificent! Just incredible!
Few questions from me:
-Did you ever have serious pest problems?
-Did you ever lose any plant from unknown reason?
-What is your most precious plant or species/hybrid?
-What was/is your biggest plant?
Best Regards,
Marek

Hi All. Marek: Thanks for your compliments, we are pleased that you are happy with our plants. Regarding your questions, our only real pest problem which can happen at certain times in the year are mites. We have to keep an eye out for them as they will slow things down. There is always reasons for losing plants, some just take a while to figure out and this is usually in retrospect  . Most precious plant: Hmm! All our plants are precious and some for different reasons. Our female lowiis are precious as they make great hybrids as does our xtrusmadiensis plants. Ones that take my eye are our large lowii x truncata, (vent x sib) x carunculata, trunc x TM, merrillianas, truncatas etc.etc.  Largest. Do you mean largest pitcher or overall plant? Pitcher wise it would be lowii x truncata, merrilliana and truncata. Plant wise it is difficult to say as we cut them back often. At present though truncata x ephippiata is huge as is lowii x truncata. I hope this is what you are after. Cheers, Geoff |

Kevin, what else are the termites eating? Sure the soil has got to be annoying, but are they eating your house?
