Nepenthes hamata x attenboroughii.
I don’t think much more really needs saying; this small plant already looks amazing both newly opened and aged to black, and is almost certainly going to become a toothy giant in a few years. Definitely likes cooler weather tho, it’s gaining size only after fall has moved in.

Definitely a cross you’re more likely to become enamored with in person, and o e that’s grown on me a lot: Nepenthes hamata x platychila. Lower pitchers are spectacular, flat out, but the uppers here took a while to get me to love them. They do combine parental traits really well though, and I think they have huge hybrid potential (already working on a couple that look like they’ve taken too; it’s a male, and I have a couple pollen packs left). You could go for enhancing the teeth but getting broader flare with it, or enhancing the peristome flare but keeping a little texture (spathulata x jacquelineae currently testing for that). Or, do neither and go for pitcher pattern as I did by putting it on my deep purple boschiana…
