We're talking about pee right?

PLEASE say yes...

What? No review for Pastoral? I feel cheated.

Outstanding reviews as always, Sam. I particulalry liked the little "ditty" on William9in's name. I have oft wondered what he means to convey with that moniker. By the way Will9, we live in the same town. When are we gonna meet? The CP community is small down here, we need to stick together.

As to my setup, the wooden fence was erected by my delightful (he's a douche) neighbor to the west. The smaller fence running parallel was what separated us in the past. The chickenwired fence running perpendicular to the large wooden fence is what separates my main grow area from the rest of the yard.

I don't know how the laws work up in the weak-hearted North, the sheepish Midwest, or the pansy Pacific Northwest, but down here you own "your side" of the fence and can place anything on it. You just can't knock the fence down or interfere with your neighbor's side. However, my Neps have well crossed the border and are pitchering and flowering on the douche's side of the fence. I hope he's enjoying the show, at least.

Manny,
This is the cutting you gave us from that alata x maxima





Almost makes the same exact plant look as good as
" metro-sexual-Yankee-poof-dogs from up North "
but ours is also grown outside without much attention.

[dexenthes]

I think that's a gorgeous cross, the best of both species, IMO.

[brokkent]

I'm sorry... but I just HAVE to ask: What's best about alata?

[mannyherrera]

Are you saying you have a problem with Nepenthes alata? I believe what we have here are the makings of the next plant fight.

No, no... you can have nepenthes alata. All of it.

[mannyherrera]

It's a very rewarding species when grown right. I'll tell you what alata's best trait is...lots of pitchers!

Well, besides for being more than one species, both are quite nice Though smooth alata can be a bit boring.

I'm loving how that N. maxima * N. alata (smooth alata, that is) looks so much like N. mindanaoensis... It has to be cheaper and much easier to grow.

Vigorous, easy, a spectacular waist-line, a multitude of pitchers at all times, adaptable to a variety of conditions, the list goes on. . .
