Hello, I dunno but are here perhaps any Nepenthesuiasts around?  This place seems to be primarily frequented by Drosera- and Pinguiculaholics!  These days a rare occasion is happening among my plants. I have two Nepenthes in flower. One is a female and the other a male!  The female is Nepenthes dubia and the male Nepenthes talangensis. Today I have put pollen of the latter onto the stigmas of the first one. So, if everything has worked we may soon have a hybrid called Nepenthes x dubiagensis or Nepenthes x talangubia if you like! ;D I guess it must look quite interesting.... I´ll keep you updated. Photos may be available at the end of the month. Bye, Andreas |

Hi Andy, I have plenty of Nepenthes, but none in flower...  Keep us updated on yours!  Brian. |

Hey Andreas,
I'm a bit of a Nep nut, sounds like a interesting hybrid your making! Keep us updated!
I will be crossing my female N. ventricosa with N. belli x veitchii, as far as I can tell it should be interesting.

Hey Nepenthes hybridizers,
(Nepenthephyles, Nepenthesuiasts), ;D
Don't forget to photograph the flowers and inflorescence and seed capsules of your plants! They seem unworthy of photographs when you are focusing on the growing the plants, but there is a shortage (IMO) of photographs of Nepenthes flowers.
I would also like to see more photographs of Nep. seedling development for that matter.
These crosses should be nice!
Brian has some beautiful N. ampullaria (red) seedlings and I would like to see what point in development all doubt of hybrid possibility is gone.
Brian's plants seem to have hybrid vigor, but I have grown species like N. bicalcarata from seed, and was unsure for more than a year if they were without any doubt species.
Take care,
Steven Stewart

Hi Andy, great news, sounds like the hybrid will look interesting. Everbody is creating any hybrids. In the moment i´m trying to do several Drosera crossings and the first of them have germinated already. I´m looking forward to see how they will look like. Good luck. Best regards, Dani |

Yes I am working on several D. binata cross. |

Hi there folks, finally here are a few pictures of the flowers: The female Nepenthes dubia: tiny flowers only 5 mm in diametre.  Only three flowers have been developed. Picture taken before pollination. No secure results of a succeeded pollination visible so far. I´m comparatively frightened it hasn´t worked!  The male flowers of Nepenthes talangensis:  To avoid an extra thread for this nice new pitcher of my still small but very promising Nepenthes villosa.   This pitcher is 5 cm tall.... ;D Sorry for the not so good quality of my pictures this time!  I´ll work for better results with the next film! See you next week then.... Andreas |

Hello Geil boy ! This hybrid sounds exciting! I hope you will make it. Maybe you could also grant us with the pictures of the parents? I wouldn't mind to admire a flowering N. dubia ;D Oh and that villosa... It's already a nice achievement. Take care, Andreas. PS: Send me a PM with your street address for the "DA" thing! |

Hey Andy, Well done! Hopefully, you'll get a successful cross. N. villosa is looking good as well. Keep us posted... Happy Growing, Brian. |

Hi guys, as for pictures of the parents I´d have to search for older ones. Both plants don´t carry any pitcher at the moment. The "Talang" is just starting to produce new ones and the "Dubia" doesn´t seem to like the conditions she´s in. The ovary doesn´t seem to swell. Possibly the pollen hasn´t already been ripe. But I needed to try because the female flowers of the "Dubia" have been already open for a week before the first "Talang" flower has opened. The flowers don´t last long as you surely know. If I´d have waited for longer with the fertilization I´d have had risked the "Dubias" stigma being not receptive anymore. Wait - hope and see! I´ll keep you updated. Andreas |
