Current highlights
A whole series of extremely interesting and attractive Hydnophytum species have been found in the Moluccas in recent years, all of which fit roughly into the concept of Hydnophytum spathulatum. In the end, I think the whole group around Hydnophytum ovatum (which also includes H. spathulatum) should be revised in order to clarify the situation. Unfortunately, the exact origin of many collections is unclear.This species is extremely peculiar. The caudex of older plants is very finely ribbed, almost black and the shoot is strongly winged. In younger plants, fine warts predominate on the caudex.The berries are very small. The leaves have extremely fine velvety pubescence.I think this is one of the most interesting species to come into cultivation recently.
Nepenthes flava x edwardsiana is a wonderful cross characterised by slightly funnel-shaped tall pitchers with a pronounced wrinkled-toothed peristome. For me, this is one of the most beautiful hybrids with Nepenthes edwardsiana.Here, the peculiar pitcher shape of Nepenthes aristolochioides is added to add further characteristics to the cross.
Nepenthes Smilodon x edwardsiana!The three most toothy Nepenthes species united in one hybrid!!!
Nepenthes Smilodon x hamata!The backcrossing of Nepenthes 'Smilodon' with Nepenthes hamata promises interesting intermediate forms of the two spectacular species. Only a few seedlings!
I am expecting a large version of Nepenthes lowii x truncata, similar to the impressive and huge N. truncata x ephippiata. I think the hybrid will be spectacular!
Three spectacular species in one hybrid. Nothing can go wrong here!
As with most hybrids with Nepenthes edwardsiana, the cross with Nepenthes tenuis shows a beautiful peristome. The lower pitchers are strikingly dark in colour.The aim of the backcross is to further emphasise the peristome-teeth of Nepenthes edwardsiana.
New introduction! Plants from in vitro propagation of this very rare and highly sought-after species are finally available.
Nepenthes argentii belongs with Nepenthes micramphora to the pitcher plants with the smallest pitchers in adult specimens.Even the plants themselves usually do not grow much larger than 25 cm in diameter.The species is found sympatric with N. sibuyanensis at 1400-1900 m.a.s.l. on Mount Guiting-Guiting in Sibuyan, where it is exposed to strong winds, cold nights, but defies the harsh conditions.The pitchers often do not grow much larger than 1-2 cm. Without flowers, one would never think that these plants are already fully grown.Spectacular, small-growing Nepenthes species for advanced growers.
A very interesting new hybrid of Nepenthes clipeata, with its extremely interesting pitchers and unique shield-shaped leaves, and Nepenthes macrophylla, which also has very interesting, very thick and broad leaves and, above all, one of the most impressive pitchers of the genus!
