A hilariously tiny flower on Pinguicula (rotundiflora x gracilis) x emarginata, HC A. Blooms on this clone are small anyway, but this is smaller than usual due to being a recent repot (that exploded into multiple separate leaves).

Comparison of Nepenthes ulukaliana on right, and ulukaliana x ramispina on left, both from @jeremiahsplants at different times. The hybrid has inherited the lid fuzz and a lot of the pitcher chunkiness of ulu, but the more cylindrical traps and, more notably, the much slimmer and darker purple flushed leaves give away the rami parentage. The two species grow alongside each other in many places in the wild so hybrids and introgression are common.

Pinguicula (rotundiflora x gracilis) x laueana, HC B flowering again. So far I think this is the only one that’s bloomed, so I still don’t know if this shade of purple is the norm or not.

If you’re like me and are always either too broke or too slow to take advantage of Nepenthes x kinabaluensis being made available…mira x villosa is a darn good substitute. This seed grown plant from @bramblesbotanicals (and I think grown out of @jeremiahsplants seeds) is a significantly fast plant as far as highlanders go, has great maroon-brick red coloration, and with every new pitcher it not only gets bigger, but the peristome gets broader and toothier. When it matures I expect it’ll make a pretty good imitation, if slightly smaller, of true x kinabaluensis

Two Nepenthes vogelii growing out, can’t wait to finally see uppers eventually.
Or I at least think the second is pure vogelii; it was purchased as vogelii x aristo from Predatory Plants but has no aristo in it, and they had a pure vogelii set at the time too so there was a switchup (similar thing unfortunately happened when they sent me a robcantleyi x truncata instead of rob x vogelii, and never heard back when asked about either one…).

Just keeps getting better as the traps get bigger…Nepenthes maxima “tentena” x (veitchii x platychila). The platy influence is showing strong.

First update checking things back home: I lost my Yucca do Pinguicula cyclosecta unfortunately but a new locality replacement was got recently…and it’s almost immediately bloomed and started dividing.
Of course I took advantage and crossed it, since the white gigantea, emarginata, and several hybrids are still flowering

Thunbergia mysorensis is blooming again! For some odd reason it only puts out flowers from way down low, so I find them draped over or hiding between the pots rather than hanging from the vines that are right in my face…

Am I finally succeeding with Nepenthes campanulata? Seems to like a pinch of shade interestingly…but that’s the best pitcher I’ve yet seen.

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.
