Female: N. petiolata

[jknight]

Not the most interesting of species I must admit, but if anyone has some spare pollen it would be good to make some hybrids.

I've got spare of a male red ventricosa, might make a nice hybrid.

[kevnep]

i agree use the vent!

[vmiller]

How is that not interesting?!?!
I love it

From where is this plant Jknight?
I also have a female from BE, but its very different to yours

[jknight]

Kevneps: All of those sound great, I've got two spikes, and possibly a third so I can make quite a few crosses.

Hcarlton: I have red ventricosa pollen on its way from another grower already, thanks for the offer though! If it's successful I can send you some seed if you'd like?

Vmiller: It is a lovely plant, but I don't think it will be that great as a hybrid parent.

Morbus: Yes this is from BE, but I'm not sure if it's a TC clone or seed grown. Can you post a photo of yours?

[kevnep]

well actually between myself and morbus we have two different veitchiis

It is worth noting that when species produced by Borneo Exotics appear in distributors catalogs, they include notes such as: "N. mikei 3" $12, Borneo Exotics mix of 24 clones", so when you buy one of these, there will be both genders in the mix and probably some variability between the clones. So, these are TC plants derived from many distinct individuals.

I would love some of the seed, if it works out! The two parents are rather unusual, so it should come out great!

[morbus]

sure
I actually have two forms, both from BE
here goes


sorry, the pics are quite old - I cant find recent ones

this plant flowered recently and also has some buns in the oven, Lol
I hope she is a good parent though :/
