The coyote has another plant to share, that got repotted just after this: Nepenthes robcantleyi x (aristolochioides x spectabilis)
Chunky little traps show off incredible changing stripe colors, and they should get a fair bit bigger now that this guy has more space to spread in. Most of the coloration seems to come from the pollen parent, but rob provides extra peristome flare and size.

This week's midweek plant highlight is one of my present favorite natural hybrids: Nepenthes x alisaputrana. Giagantic, colorful, also so far in my experience extremely easy and fairly rapid to grow, it's an amazing intersection between one of the genus giants and another highly prized endemic in the same region.

Embron’s back in the greenhouse again, showing off our Nepenthes ramispina x truncata! This plant is a relatively recent addition (about a year ago), so it doesn’t need much of a repot presently, but there’s a bit of yuck on the surface that we’re going to change out.
Of the large slender dark plants I have this is probably making the tallest pitchers, close to competing with izumiae x truncata though.

Nepenthes bellii x robcantleyi, bouncing back rapidly after the repot it needed. It’s yet to flower, but once settled it makes a lot of big, chunky traps. Didn’t inherit the dark color of rob sadly, but the contrast of lime green peristome (which blushes bronze sometimes) and purple inside is attractive.

Pinguicula emarginata x sp. Tonala “ANPA A” HC A
Still propagating this one but a couple of its siblings are available in the Shop.

When it comes to simple hybrids, it’s hard to beat the spectacular and easy nature of Nepenthes ventricosa x spectabilis. Chunky, flared peristomes, and bright reds that quickly age to this deep purple and black.

This week's midweek plant highlight is one of the few tuberous sundews that I would fully call beginner-friendly: Drosera menziesii! A climber with spectacularly large flowers, and way more tolerant of grower slipups than most of this group is!

Which do you prefer, lighter and multicolor stripes, or dark and chocolate-red?
Both are sibling Nepenthes (veitchii x burbidgeae) x stenophylla I got as freebies a while back, that just got a much-needed pot upgrade.

The fattest Nepenthes rafflesiana that ever did live…or possibly just introgressed with ampullaria. Its siblings are all more or less normal raff though, with similar coloring…
